suspend/fg excitement in *shell*

[Dan Jacobson]

I notice in the *shell* buffer, suspend/fg acts funny.

sh-3.1$ su
Password: 
address@hidden:/tmp# suspend

[1]+  Stopped(SIGSTOP)        su
sh-3.1$ fg
su
address@hidden:/tmp# exit <--I did not type "exit". God did for me
apparently.

I also notice that if I do the above experiment without doing
# mv .bash* /somewhere/other/than/root's/home/dir
first, apparently the .bash_history file starts getting munched, with
all kinds of wacko commands getting executed or something with
multiple kill(1)'s needed to stamp out the frenzy.
