Bug Description
feisty, GNU bash, version 3.2.13(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
steps:
1. start interactive bash shell, e.g. open gnome-terminal
2. repeatedly attempt to run nonexistent program in background, e.g.
iusfbdfvb &
expected: the interactive shell should not exit.
result: shell exists, about 9 times out of 100 just now. If you have the terminal stay open after the shell exits, (e.g. either edit -> profile -> command -> on exit -> leave open; or run 'bash' for an interactive shell within the interactive shell) you'll see 'exit' as the last command, as if you had typed it in.
