I was wrong here -- it does *sometimes* ask confirmation, as you've
pointed out.

I did try this, but not with a suitable examples, perhaps. For example,
I was thinking of:
kompare &
ctrl-D
Also note
su
wget http://example.com/bigfile.iso &
ctrl-D
There is no confirmation request in these case, although I'm not
completely confident on drawing the distinction between these and the
'cat &' case that was given.
As the programs that I tend to be working on are often like this, I
hadn't really notices the 'stopped jobs' warning.
