Hi Ken,

- The real problem isn't the tight loop for script(1); it's that when
this version of script gets an EOF on the "user" side (because the
input is set to /dev/null)

I'm not sure why script(1) is run in the background and then immediately
wait'd for;  is it to just get </dev/null?  What about if it's given a
byte or few of input without wait-ing?  echo | ...
