Description anthony malizzio 2001-08-24 01:20:01 UTC 
when you run a program from a shell with the && operator and a righthand with an ascii escape char, the program re-executes up to 16 times after prior closes.

Fix: 

?
How-To-Repeat: asdf$ any_executable && `^x`  # where x is any character


## output
Fork nesting > 16; maybe `...` loop.
