Had this exact same problem on Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8. Moved back to
1.2.27. You'll find that this only happens when you start a job in
background or the process you start forks off a child and any of these
processes are still running. It also depends on the shell, on Sun,
/bin/sh does not have this problem, but ksh, and csh do. Something to
do with job control.
