edge starting suspended jobs

The environment I am using is a Personal Iris 4d/20 running
IRIX System V Release 4D1-3.14711181642.
I have a job that I ran with "/bin/time nice -10 ... &".
I then suspended the job using "kill -20 pid".
The following is output from "ps -el":
30 T 557 10785 10784 0 70 30 *14544:3073 ttyq1 435:13 test
Then I start "edge" (with no parameters). The pid 10785 starts
running again with the status "S" (instead of "T").
I realize that my job appeared in the top window of "edge".
I had to stop the job again and got the following:
30 T 557 10785 10784 0 70 30 *14544:2853 ttyq1 435:20 test
So why does edge start suspended jobs? Is this a "feature"?
If another user logs onto the console and starts edge, my job
is started too. This could not possibly be a feature since another
user should not be able to control my processes. By the way, my
job did not show up on the other user's top window of edge.
One question: How do I interpret "14544:2853"? I figure that
it has something to do with the number of memory pages the program
is using. How big is 1 page?
