Well, it works for Mr. Summers, so _that's_ not true. Bash is strange,
though, and what it's presumably doing is looking at the '&' at the end of
the line and ignoring the exec. (I'm told that Bash will actually give an
error message for exec, if, for example, the format of the file being
exec'ed isn't executable.) But that's non-standard, and you shouldn't be
doing it if you're intending to use other Unices in the future.
