exiting from a C-subshell I get the following
strange behaviour (I'm using a NeXTstation):
| localhost> su
| localhost# exit;echo "hello"
| localhost# 
| localhost>
first the echo command is completed after that a new prompt
in the same subshell is printed and only the the exit command
is executed and control returned to the supershell.
When I use ^D instead, everything works as expected.
Has anybody an idea, how I can fix this problem?

thanks for your help!
Patrick
