When a program is run using backticks, and the user cancels page loading (if your program is taking
too long!), the shell running the program (the one in the backticks) may continue indefinitely on
the server. I do not know if this is a bug, or just a danger of using this feature. (It may depend
on the way the browser "cancels" the request -- it was a problem on both IE and OmniWeb
for the Mac). Beware!
