	Actually, this is dangerous.  It starts a shell, which begins to parse
/bin/false and if you can catch it between the time it starts, and when
it exits with an interrupt, the shell will happily give you a prompt!

	Perhaps bash doesn't do this now, but I'll bet you a purty (I can use
that term, as I was born here) that it will!

	Mr. Toxen, confirmation please?
