arguments. But it isn't. It's a bug that is pretty uncommon and can be worked around in userspace. Yes, it's annoying if you bump into it, but in the scale of severity, I don't think it rates very high. 
    It rates pretty high on my list when I have to dig into (somebody else's)
    code trying to find which one of the dozens of "&"'s is causing the
    random segfaults, etc. anomalities. And eventually decide that the best
    way to get it to work is either rewrite all of it or simply remove every
    single "&" from the files and try and fix what might break..

    So no, by no means: Don't fix it! I can justify some more time being spent
    on that and send a bigger invoice. =)
I knew there were other reasons! :D Zeev
