 If you execute the following
	{ while() echo sss } >rc & sleep 5 ; kill -9 $apid
you get an rc, one PID higher than the printed 'background'
rc, that doesn't die from the kill. What's going on? Is this
an error?

 If the while becomes a function, it works. Methinks something
is just a little bit wrong here.
