Weirdness with suspending jobs in 2.6.9-rc3

Hello,

It seems that make (possibly among other things) has been affected by
some change in 2.6.9-rcX that prevents it from resuming some jobs.

I created this Makefile as a testcase:

all:
sleep 5
echo Hi
sleep 5

The result:

darjeeling:~{0}% make
sleep 5

zsh: suspended make
darjeeling:~{1}% bg
[1] + continued make
make: *** wait: No child processes. Stop.
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
darjeeling:~{1}% echo Hi
Hi
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
sleep 5
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

[1] + exit 2 make

This happens with bash also. I'm pretty sure it didn't use to happen
with older kernels. Any ideas?

Thanks
