job control

Hello,

I'm not sure this is a bug, but I'm unable to do simple job control from within 
a bash script. But I can from the command line, for instance:

$ { sleep 10 & jobs -p; }
[1] 30672
30672

Works just fine but this script won't produce any output.
-------------------------
#!/bin/bash

sleep 10 &
jobs
-------------------------

I'm trying this with bash 2.05.1 on linux mandrake, I get the same results on a 
solaris 2.5.1 machine with bash 2.03.0.

Any thoughts?

Stuart Matheson
