This is what makes the Unix world so much fun, don't you think? On my
Linux (2.0.27) system, I get no such thing. Kai Grossjohann quite reasonably
suggested that it depends on whether you end your command string with an
ampersand, but I think it depends a lot more on which flavor of Unix and which
command shell you're using - and the complexity of the sub-command string, of
course.
