Bash Version: 4.4
Patch Level: 20

Description:
	A pipeline, with two or more pipes, hangs when a background job is running.
	Only when the background job finishes, the shell prompts again.
	Without the background job, the shell prompts immediately.

Repeat-By:
	: | : | : ## immediately finishes
	sleep 10 &
	: | : | : ## this hangs (^C, ^\, ^Z do not help) until the sleep finishes
