Trap does not work if a subshell wait(s) for job

[Dr. Werner Fink]

Hi,

found due to a hang in the test suite of gnutls, after debugging I've
extract the example code

     launch_server () { sleep 100 & l=$!; trap "kill -15 $l" 15; echo $l; wait 
$l; }
     launch_server & x=$!
     sleep 2
     kill $x

which does wait the full 100 seconds with bash 4.3 but with the old bash 4.2 
only 2 seconds.

Werner
