commit d8db042ad03bd140212c528077f9b5589da91d49

Disable asynchronous job notification for parallel tests.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT) <Driver loop>: Turn off notify
mode, since zsh leaves it on after 'emulate sh'.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins) <set>: Document that
job control options are not portable.

better.

+default, and using @samp{emulate sh} to switch to Posix mode does not
+clear this setting (although asynchronous notification has no impact
+unless job monitoring is also enabled). Also, @command{zsh} 4.3.10 and
+earlier have a bug where job control can be manipulated in interactive
+shells, but not in subshells or scripts. Furthermore, some shells, like
+@command{pdksh}, fail to treat subshells as interactive, even though the
