    I don't know how Apollo implemented it, but on a real UNIX system
    there should be no difference in job execution caused by whether
    your shell is supporting job control or not.

That's because "real" Unix isn't advanced enough to let you run a
program without spawning a whole new process to run it in.  Instead,
it relies on total crocks like vfork() to speed up process creation.

Let's not start a flame war, OK?
