I believe the problem is that when you execute
	postnote(PNGROUP, getpid(), "kill\n");
after having done
	einit(Emouse);
that you're killing the process that's reading the
mouse.  Ironically, this postnote appears not to
terminate the processes that you started by calling
filter.  At least, it didn't work when I tried it on
my nextstation.
