Question on running a process at 100% CPU time.

| A bulletin board system that I frequently visit runs OpenBSD 4.1 .
Over the course of three months, I've watched some guy from brazil run
unix 'talk', dd, the bbs editor, and the chat program at 100% cpu
time. I looked in his home directory and there is no script. I don't
have the authorization to look at his .bash_history file. I'm
suspecting he is probably using some kind of one liner. The only thing
that they all have in common is they run in the background.
I set bash to stty tostop
And tried variations on
$ talk newbie &
[1] 3994
But every time, I get the following
$
[1] + Stopped (tty output) talk newbie
What one line bash combo would generate this kind of behavior?

You can't start a process in backround which will read stdin.

That's what 'stty tostop' told it to do. Try 'stty -tostop'.
