Quirk with background processes

Quirk with background processes

[Dominik Vogt]

I'm not sure if zsh has any part in the following observartion:
I run zsh-4.0.2 in an rxvt (didn't try other terminals).  I start
john the ripper (a passwork cracker) from zsh.  Every time I hit
return it prints a lines like

  guesses: 0  time: 1:07:51:56 (3)  c/s: 71760  trying: Tid05l - TABJny
  guesses: 0  time: 1:07:51:57 (3)  c/s: 71760  trying: TRIncs - T-ryk!
  guesses: 0  time: 1:07:51:58 (3)  c/s: 71761  trying: Ti1rga - TARpm2

I send it to the background and back to the foreground with

  Ctrl-Z
  $ bg
  $ fg

After that, pressing return always inserts a new line before each
line:

  guesses: 0  time: 1:07:51:56 (3)  c/s: 71760  trying: Tid05l - TABJny

  guesses: 0  time: 1:07:51:57 (3)  c/s: 71760  trying: TRIncs - T-ryk!

  guesses: 0  time: 1:07:51:58 (3)  c/s: 71761  trying: Ti1rga - TARpm2

Is that the fault of the terminla, the application or zsh?  I
guess the terminal settings are screwed up somehow.

Bye
