 For what it is worth, and I know this does not help much,
 but the BUGS section of sh(1) in (very) current now includes...
 
 	Job control of compound statements (loops, etc) is a complete mess. 
 
 I am aware of the problems, and if I can dream up an implementable
 way (that is, not thousands of lines of extra code) to make it better
 it will happen - someday.
