The sequence:
        xterm & (from my only existing xterm)
        click on the middle button (oops) and it comes up in the ULH corner
                (correct location) and very tiny.  I can't get the mouse on
                it to move it or resize it or anything, so...
(~) Meow? kill %2
%2: Not owner
(~) Meow? jobs
[1]  + Running              emacs
[2]  - Running              xterm
(~) Meow? kill 2
2: Not owner
(~) Meow? kill %2
%2: Not owner
(~) Meow? kill %xterm
%xterm: Not owner
(~) Meow? kill 3578
3578: Not owner

So, why can't I kill the job that I, myself, started?
