Package: cpulimit
Version: 1.1-11
Severity: normal

Because cpulimit uses SIGSTOP/SIGCONT, it breaks interactive shell:

$ cpulimit -e dd -l 50 >/dev/null &
[1] 766

$ touch foo; dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000; touch bar

[2]+  Stopped                 dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000

$ ls -l foo bar
-rw------- 1 jwilk users 0 Nov 30 12:40 bar
-rw------- 1 jwilk users 0 Nov 30 12:40 foo


This is most likely unavoidable with the current design. In that case,
please at least put a prominent warning in the documentation.
