csh/jobs funniness

Under csh if you have a job running in the background, jobs says running
and ps will give a stat of R indicating runnable. If you send the process
a signal 17 or 18 (STOP,TSTP) using kill, jobs will indicate the process
has stopped and ps will indicate T for stopped. So far everything is fine,
however if you restart the job using using kill -19 pid (or -CONT) the 
process does restart, ps will give a STAT of R, but jobs will indicate 
still stopped. This happens on both our VAX and SUN running 4.2bsd.
Any comments or solutions?
