    Hmm, this is *VERY* strange, but it's true. If you use
$ (xclock < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 &)&
AND press <ENTER> once it will live, but whatever you do if you do not
press <ENTER> it dies! The same things happen with konsole also.
    If you do:
((xclock < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 &)&); /bin/true
there's no problem, which made me think it is bash related isue. Even
simple '(xclock&) ; /bin/true' works (xclock does not get killed).
If you 'xterm -e tcsh', to use tcsh instead of bash - there is no
problem. Should we repport this as a bug or is this bash feature?
I think this is bug.

    Can someone from RedHat developers please clarify the situation?
