:Actually, as soon as I had I chance to look I found some more job control
:bugs (hope I got all the right patches into pws-25).  If you do
:while true; do zcat; done
:and hit ^C repeatedly, the zcat gets killed but the loop continues.

Didn't really have a problem with this.  I was able to stop it with little
grief.

:Eventually, however, you catch the shell when it's not running zcat and the
:loop exits.  Doing this a few times gives the message
:zsh: job table full

Never saw this.

:and you can't run any more external jobs, so it's not getting deleted
:properly.


:Secondly (and this really makes me suspect I've missed a patch):
:% fn() { sleep 2; print foo; }
:% fn
:^Zzsh: 13719 suspended  fn
:% bg
:[1]  - continued  fn
:<after a while>
:% jobs -l
:[1]  - 13719 running    fn

% ps 13719
  PID TT  STAT      TIME COMMAND
13719 p0  T      0:00.00 zsh

That's why you had to kill -9 it. 
Now, what's this bit: "[1]  - 13719"...
                            ^
			    ^ ?????
% fg
fg: no current job
% %
fg: no such job: 2

:% fg %1
:^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^Z^Z^Z^Z^Z^Z^Z^Z
