I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, but there is change between old bash
3.2 and bash 4.2.
When you run a script:
set -m
$(sleep 1; sleep 2)
in bash 4.2 the first sleep has same group id as parent shell. However
in bash 3.2 it has different group id.
Is it bug or not? I'm not able to find documentation for this change.
And seems that POSIX says nothing about it.
How could this possibly matter?
It could matter in sending (receiving) signal to process group.
