  Go to bed without any supper, Phillip! :)

  Process Groups assign processes to terminals.  Your program isn't in
the foreground until it and the terminal both belong to the same process
group.  Read the Kernel Reference, manpage "Job Control(2)" for details,
but you basically want to do this:

  tcnewpgrp(fdtty)
  settpgrp(fdtty)
