[gnu.bash.bug] bash 1.04: backgrounding subshells

lupton@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu (Robert Lupton) (02/09/90)

If I say
bash> ( cd foo ; make bar ) &
I get a job number (say [2]), and then immediately a message that
%2 has finished. But this means that the cd has finished (I think),
anyway the make is still happily running (as shown by a ps x). I
think that this is a bug.
