Hi there,

Subject: Bug#763842: mksh-static segfaults on continued jobs

Package: mksh
Version: 50b-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
When a job is continued after being stopped in interactive mksh-static
or lksh, they crash with segmentation fault.

The simplest way to reproduce is to call "fg" for any stopped job in
interactive mksh-static or lksh (full mksh is not affected); it results
in job being continued but shell crashing immediately after that.

The crash happens in j_print() at jobs.c:1560 where the expression
sigtraps[WSTOPSIG(p->status)] is out-of-bounds.  It seems to be introduced
with revision 1.101 of jobs.c that added WCONTINUED flag to wait(2)
and then updated the state after checking status with WIFCONTINUED.

Apparently, when compiling with klibc, WCONTINUED flag is defined but
WIFCONTINUED macro is not.  The result is that p->state and p->status
are not consistent.

This fixes it for me:
