Ok.  I see everyone is indicating that background processes should not terminate
when the shell that invoked them terminates.  For some silly reason I've based
my "idea" for that thought on Sun's csh that does kill my background programs
when my shell terminates.

My new question would be this:  how do you force the exit of background processes
on csh termination?  I would really swear up and down that nohup was used to keep
the process running, but the general consenus does not seem to support that belief.
