Re: bash loses control of jobs inside a command substitution

[Oğuz]

Behavior of wait -n differs on interactive and non-interactive sessions
though, maybe this really is a bug

    $ bash -ic '( ( sleep 0.1; exit 13 ) & sleep 0; wait -n; echo $? )'
    0
    $ bash -c '( ( sleep 0.1; exit 13 ) & sleep 0; wait -n; echo $? )'
    13
