Why is a behaviour of MC is wrong?

Hi all.

First of all see the following example

Code:

(sleep 5; date)& date;

When MC work the example is executed wrong. Background process is stopped.
WHY?

what's mc?
are you sure it stops? it puts '(sleep 5; date)&' into the background, runs 'date', then runs 'date' after the sleep.
what were you trying to achieve?
