I didn't say it was correct behavior, just how
to get around the behavior.
It does behave incorrectly under xterm and rxvt.

Running as a subshell: (asdfasdf &)
or
tcsh -c asdfasdf &
will cause less problem.
Can you explain this in a bit more detail? The behavior is
counter-intuitive, and not duplicated in other shells (in the 'sh'
family tree).
Why would a login shell exit if an attempt to launch an application in
the background failed because the app wasn't found?
In any case, if accurate, this is the answer we've been seeking, lo
these many moons...
Also the AppleTerminal has different characteristics.
We've noticed this.
Cheers,
Justin
