Csh aliases and process control

	In my .cshrc I had several three command aliases of the
	form  alias foo 'x ; y ; z'.

	If I stopped process y, process z was never initiated, a 
	different form of the sequence bug noted in csh.1,
	where stopping y causes z to be immediately executed
	(The manual example was for terminal input sequences).

	Is this bug/feature generally well known ?

	Bracketting the alias has restored correct behaviour on
	process suspension.
