If I put the grep command in a subshell and then use ^Z the job
disappears completely from output of jobs or jobs -l. It's just gone.

The only thing which works (per Roland's suggestion) is to use this
command chain:
(ulimit -c 0 ; grep -r foo /usr/share/man ; true)
this can be stopped with ^Z and resumed properly, too.
