I'm encountering a weird problem with sleep.

If I run

$ while true; do sleep 120; done &
[1] 6780
$ kill %1

the bash process (6780) and its child sleep process are both killed.

However, if I kill the bash process using the pid, the child sleep 
process is not killed.

$ while true; do sleep 120; done &
[1] 5528
$ kill 5528
$ ps -ef | grep sleep
   drothe    6532       1   0  12:26:41 /bin/sleep

I guess this problem has been around for a while. I'm seeing it with the 
latest snapshot and also with 1.5.18, with the latest bash and the test 
bash.
