I tried screen, but it has not the same feeling and not the same semantics as
conventional job control. I am to used to the bourne job control. Personally,
I won't use a shell without job control.

But then, if anybody does not like my patch: DON'T USE IT! It is just an option
to those people, who want to have it :-)

PS: To get rid of the memory leak in the LIBREADLINE support add the following 
    lines after line 314 in input.c (in->nufbegin[nre...):
#if LIBREADLINE                                                                 
                        free(rlinebuf);                                         
#endif
