I'm sorry to say I don't think that adds much towards helping fixing
the bug. My transcript was a demonstration of what the results of
`sudo something &' would be _after_ the change I proposed.
Having said that I think it might be helpful if I were to mention the
command `fg' of which I think you are unaware. Full details are in
the manpage for bash and a short version in `help fg' froom a bash
prompt. Anyone who uses & should also know aboug fg, ^Z and bg.
