Package: bash
Version: 3.0-16
Severity: important


Hello,

bash's job control doesn't work rather often, at least not under X11.

Example:

$ vi .bashrc
^Z

Now the process hangs. In 'ps ax|grep vi' I can see this:

 8078 pts/14   T+     0:00 vi .bashrc

If I now say 'kill -CONT 8078', I'm back in vi and can continue to edit
the file normally, but this way I'm restricted from doing most anything
which includes job control. The problem also happens with 'less',
therefore I concluded that bash was the common factor, and thus the
target of the bug.

Thank you!


Best,
--Toni++
