correct, yes, but desirable, no. actually, the shell probably didn't blow
up; more likely, it just halted waiting for someone to resume it.
here are two ways to avoid this from happening:
stty susp undef dsusp undef
which unbinds the sending of the suspend signals from control-z and -y.
i used to do this. better is
signals = $signals -sigtstp
which ignores the stop signals in es and all child processes, though
if you run a job control shell under es job control will just work.
