While running the libtool test suite, I found that some other rxvt/bash 
windows refused to exit. ("logout" was printed, and then...nothing)

This was followed almost immediately over in the window that was running 
the testsuite, by the appearance of a number of the dreaded
    tests/defs: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
messages.  (Then tests failed, then the testsuite process ended).

After the testsuite was done (freeing up a lot of process 'slots'?) my 
recalcitrant windows in which I had exited finally went away.

This is a regression from 1.5.18.
