Hi,

just tried this

 > ls -l /etc | less
 Ctrl-Z
 > ls -l /etc | less 
 [1] + Stopped                  ls -l /etc | less
 > jobs
 [1] + Stopped                  ls -l /etc | less
 > fg
 ls -l /etc | less

... now I'm missing the terminal output of the less command, a short
check shows

 Ctrl-C
 > tty
 /dev/pts/0
 > ps x | grep pts/0
  9273 pts/0    S      1:02 ksh
  9297 pts/0    T      0:42 less
  9344 pts/0    R+     0:00 ps x
  9345 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto pts/0

that is that fg seems not to reenable the less command. Now
trying to reenable the less by sending SIGCONT shows:

 > killall -CONT less
 [1] + Stopped (SIGTTOU)        ls -l /etc | less

... it seems that the tty output of less is stopped for
a for background process (ksh?).
