#There are no suspended jobs in the shell that's running the pipeline
#(it's a subprocess of the one that printed the prompt).

But it that's true then why can I redirect it to a file and have my
stopped jobs show up there?  (i.e.  jobs > test  will result in "test"
having the correct output of jobs)
