 dieter.r>  Why do you think so? By the time the first wait returns,

 I want to get second sleep(job) return value. But NetBSD's sh can't.
 FreeBSD's sh and zsh give me second sleep(job) return value.

 I don't know what is right. But this sh program action is different
 between NetBSD and FreeBSD.
 
 Thanks.
