[Bug 2025172] [NEW] ^Z causes time to exit

[themusicgod1]

Public bug reported:

sometimes you're running a program that's been taking awhile, and you
want to pause it, maybe to make sure that it's still actually doing
something, or to examine its state

but if you use your shell to send ^Z to the program, time interprets
that as time to exit:

example

time sleep 2390438903
^Z
[1]+  Stopped                 sleep 2390438903

real	0m0.792s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.000s


what should probably happen
time sleep 2390438903
^Z
$ fg
real	blahblah
user	blahblah
sys	blahblah
