Description
Steps to reproduce:
mosh server bashsleep 60 &disownCtrl+D
At step 4 I would expect mosh to disconnect, however it only disconnects when sleep 60 finishes.
Versions: mosh 1.3.2 (client) - mosh 1.3.0 (server)

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with mosh server bash, a background sleep 60 &, disown, and Ctrl+D using the reported client and server versions. Trace the disconnect behavior around the background process and verify that Ctrl+D disconnects without waiting for sleep 60 to finish.
