I was able to reproduce this bug on Sparcstation-1 SunOS 4.0.3c and Vax 8530 Ultrix 3.0. Running any builtin run in the background seems to cause a coredump: $ echo hi there & describe_pid: No such pid (1404)! Tell jjd@bbn.com to fix this someday. Mailing a bug report...hi there done. Stopping myself...Abort (core dumped) I tried this also on an HP 9000 Series 330 running HP-UX 6.2, and it didn't core dump, but then again, the HP doesn't have job control so that probably makes a difference. --Jim--
