} Worse that that, signals go to the parent shell:

The signal is being sent from here (signals.c):
755 if (killpg(jobtab[jn->other].gleader, sig) == -1 && errno != ESRCH)
The problem is that jobtab[jn->other].gleader is 0, so killpg kills the
current process.
Obviously the group leader should never be zero, but I haven't figured
out how to track down where it's [not] being set. Probably this is
related to the shell function not properly attaching to the tty when
foregrounded.
However, in attempting to figure it out, I found some sixteen-year-old
code that is clearly wrong:
diff --git a/Src/exec.c b/Src/exec.c
index d924148..bf97b5c 100644
--- a/Src/exec.c
+++ b/Src/exec.c
@@ -1702,7 +1702,7 @@ execpline(Estate state, wordcode slcode, int how, int last1)
jobtab[list_pipe_job].other = newjob;
jobtab[list_pipe_job].stat |= STAT_SUPERJOB;
jn->stat |= STAT_SUBJOB | STAT_NOPRINT;
- jn->other = pid;
+ jn->other = list_pipe_job;
jn->gleader = jobtab[list_pipe_job].gleader;
}
if ((list_pipe || last1) && hasprocs(list_pipe_job))
jn->other is a job table index, not a process ID. However, (a) I don't
know if list_pip_job is the right value (although a few lines earlier
list_pipe_pid = pid is assigned, so it would seem to makes sense) and
(b) that this has never caused a wild pointer dereference in all this
time seems to indicate that this code is never actually reached.
I don't have any more time to look at this now; hoping this information
is helpful to PWS if he has a chance to look when he wakes up on Friday.
