Summary: redirection, pipeline inconsistencies

It seems that I can redirect the output of a C-shell command
to a file, but I cannot pipe it to some other command. Logically,
this should not have happened. Anyway, the following happens
for C-shell as well as for korn-shell.

{samsun} jobs
[1]  + Stopped		emacs foo
{samsun} jobs > bar
{samsun} cat bar
[1]  + Stopped		emacs foo
{samsun} jobs | more
{samsun}

So, for some reasons I just cannot pipe the output of "jobs".
I am just wondering how was this bug (feature !) implemented. ?
