Annotate ^Y/DSUSP issue on BSDs caused by `stty`
On at least FreeBSD & OpenBSD, typing `^Y` will send a `DSUSP` signal, suspending the process. Annotate the issue along with a solution to allow `^Y` to work on these.
There may be similar issues on NetBSD or possibly on OSX, but I don't have either available for testing.
