------------------------------------------------------------------------
A brief synopsis of the problem:

	uwm, when ^Z'ed, kills off some jobs started from pull-down menus.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please describe the problem in detail (mention any necessary files or
commands that may be involved, on which machine the bug happened, and what
the program did that was wrong):

	VS2 6.0R uwm, VS2 StaffTools uwm.
	Start up uwm in background (with &).
	Use pull-down menu to start up subjobs, like xterm, xclock, or emacs.
	Bring uwm job into the foreground (either 'fg' or '%uwm' or '%#').
	^Z it.
	Some subjobs die.  Usually xterm and xclock dies, emacs doesn't.
	Not completely consistent.
	Not reproducable on RT workstation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repeat by (please enter a set of commands which will allow us to 
repeat the bug):

	Given above.
	If necessary, copy my .uwmrc file to see my pull-down menus.  I
		don't think that this is probably necessary to
		re-create.  See me if you want a demo on this one.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fix (if you know what it is):

	... got me ... ???
