Hi.

If you start a few jobs in the background and do:
zsh% jobs
[1]  - running    xmixer
[2]  + running    gtcd
zsh% _

ok, this is expected but this is not...
zsh% jobs | less
(END)
zsh% _

Why? This is quite annoying. You do not get any output if you pipe the
results from the "jobs" command. (jobs 2>&1|less doesn't work either)

(zsh is v4.0.4 and the same result on Linux-2.4(i386) and Solaris
 8(sparc))

Nej, jag är inte glad. Varför är du?
