I have bash and other stuff out of b18 and have the following
problem:

When I hit ^C at bash with child processes, a signal seems to be
broadcast to all of its children including background processes.
Is this true?

This hurts my usual complation habit on large programs like:

bash$ make >make.log&
[1] 12345
bash$ tail -f make.log
.....
.....
^C (to terminate only tail)

Regards,
hiro
