Bash Version: 3.0
Patch Level: 16
Release Status: release

Description:
when a background or stopped process was started by a function with
arguments, then the arguments are not explicitly listed in the jobs
output, but instead the jobs output shows the defined patterns, such
as $@, $*, $1, $2 ...

Repeat-By:

Define a function with an argument, call it, ^Z the process, then
list jobs.  e.g.

$ le() { less -E "$@" ; }
$ le /etc/termcap
[ CTRL-Z the 'less' job. ]
[1]+  Stopped                 less -E "$@"
$ jobs
[1]+  Stopped                 less -E "$@"

This should instead say
[1]+  Stopped                 less -E /etc/termcap
