Even if it's correct to have two entries, it's wrong to return the
least recent one.

I think that's insufficient ... we should be recording the most recent
state, per your question about WIFSTOPPED.

Does that really work? I would expect WIFSIGNALED to be true when
each of WIFSTOPPED and WIFCONTINUED is also true, so it wouldn't
change anything? (There isn't any way to stop/continue without using
a signal that I can think of.)

I think either that, or
(D) Make sure getbgstatus() always returns the most recent entry.
But ... there isn't any way for a user / script to examine more than
one job status per PID, so unless we're using it internally somewhere
(?) I would think (C) is best.
