It seems that BASH doesn't really free up an internal jobs slot until
I run the "jobs" command. I have "notify=1" in my .profile.
For example:
prune 1551: jobs
[1]+ Stopped Pnews
prune 1552: sleep 1&
[2] 24842
prune 1553: [2]- Done sleep 1
## Wait for first job to finish, then do another one; note the job
## number assigned is 3, not 2.
sleep 1&
[3] 24843
prune 1554: [3]- Done sleep 1
## Wait for the second sleep to finish, then see what's there; note
## the "Done" for an already done job.
jobs
[1]+ Stopped Pnews
[3]- Done sleep 1
prune 1555: sleep 1
prune 1556: jobs
[1]+ Stopped Pnews
prune 1557: fg
/r$
