It means you can't hit CTRL-Z to suspend a process, move processes to the foreground and background, or use the jobs command. See the JOB CONTROL section of bash(1) for more details.
Not sure what causes it, but I always (and only) see it when I boot for emergency recovery with "init=/bin/sh".

It may have something to do with your terminal.

It's fairly harmless, but very annoying, especially if you get stuck and need to kill something.

Depending on what's caused it to break, you could look at your terminal configuration, try using the "set -m" command to turn job control back on, starting up another shell, or using screen(1).

To find out, create a brand new user with default dotfiles, and try logging in as that user.
Hope this helps,
