LONG_LIST_JOBS Doesn't Work?!?

LONG_LIST_JOBS Doesn't Work?!?

[Eskandar Ensafi]

Hello,

I just noticed that setting the LONG_LIST_JOBS option does *not* force jobs
to be listed in long format.

This problem has existed in all versions of zsh 2.6, and perhaps even 2.5.
I'm using zsh 2.6-beta12 right now, and the OS is NEXTSTEP 3.3.  When I set
LONG_LIST_JOBS, I should get PIDs listed in my job table even without the
-l flag, right?  But I see no difference in my job table -- LONG_LIST_JOBS
doesn't seem to affect anything.

Have I misinterpeted the purpose of LONG_LIST_JOBS or is something wrong?

I thought I'd found that too, a few betas ago.  LONG_LIST_JOBS is *not*
intended to make jobs default to -l: "alias jobs='jobs -l'" does that.
It affects the format of the notification one receives when a job
terminates or is suspended.
