stopping "wait" in (sub)script ?

[Andrei Tcherepanov]

Hi!

a little ( but annoyning ) problem --

a little long command

for i in `cat ss`
do xvi $i &
wait
done

And I can't stop this -  neither ^C nor ^Z !!! (thanx god, 
ss was not too long ... ) 

Is this bug or feature ???

I cannot reproduce this.  ^C should work.  What OS, compiler do you use?
Could you reproduce it with sleep instead of xvi and starting zsh with the
-f switch?

When you send a bugreport, it is always a good idea to mention the OS and
the compiler you use, unless you are absolutely sure that the problem is
general.
