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
