This bug report falls into the category of a "philosophical",
since my complains are with the way asynchronous notify works in
bash. One of the things I don't like happens when a process stops
(for tty output, input, etc). Bash informs me that the current
directory is the working directory of the job (if different from
the current working directory), only to have it tell me immediately
after that I am back into my original directory. The other complaint
I have is that when a process stops, bash doesn't make the stopped
process the current process (so you can use %+ to bring it to the
foreground). I know it is the way the csh works, but I find it
very useful.
I have enclosed context diffs for "jobs.c" (version 1.04
of bash). The fixes seem to achieve the desired effect.
