Sorry, Jay, that's a feature, or at least it is documented as one.
`kill -CONT %frep' sends a signal to the ``process group'' of the job
``frep'', not to the ``process''. From man 2 killpg:
> ... . As a single special case the continue signal
> SIGCONT may be sent to any process that is a descendant of
> the current process.
