Christos's change to bin/sh/jobs.c (1.23 1997/10/08 20:31:52) breaks on sparc.

He changed line 782 from

	else if ((sp->status & 0377) == 0177)

to

	else if (WIFSTOPPED(sp->status))

expanding to

	else if ((((*(int *)&(   sp->status   ))  & 0177)  == 0177 ) )

where `short status' is treated as an `* (int *)'.

What should be fixed, `WIFSTOPPED' or the `status' type?
