status.w_termsig = 0	==>	status.bytes.low & 0x7f = 0

Since the logical conjunction of status.bytes.low and 0x7f is 0,
then it follows that status.bytes.low must be 0.

Replace ``status.w_termsig = 0'' on line 169 of nojobs.c
with ``status.bytes.low = 0'' and the program will compile.

I've compiled bash-1.02 and -1.04 under 386/ix 2.0.2.  Even got 1.04 to
compile on a 3B2 under Rel. 3.0 (brain-dead compiler)!
