Hi,

pgrep from the procps package does not terminate when I suspend 
processes (which you can do for instance do with Sysinternal's Process 
Explorer). It does not happen when I use Ctrl+Z in a shell to suspend a 
process.

This is a bit of a problem to me as I have pgrep in my shell 
initialization file and starting a new shell will simply never finish 
when any process is in suspended state.

Thorsten
