Problem with terminal line discipline and Tcsh

With the latest binaries of tcsh from tesla.ee.cornell.edu (like the current
5.20.02 version), it seems that the ^Z character is no longer interpreted by
the shell, and is passed on to an application rather than suspending it.  The
problem seems to be that the new version, unlike some older versions, is set
up to use terminal line discipline 0 (System V), rather than 1 (BSD-like).
Making this change in csh gives the same behavior.  Because tcsh resets
the terminal characteristics at every prompt, I can't figure out how to get
around this.  Does anyone have a way around this problem?
