It looks like as bash and its bug (I think). It may not be related to Greg's problem, but zsh's automatic timing feature (controlled via $REPORTTIME) tends to get confused by the time taken by background processes. It seems that if a background process terminates, the user/sys times taken by that process will be added to the user/sys times for the next foreground process - leading to some spectacularly wrong values when you exit from a background emacs or netscape.
