What an amusing hack!  I especially like the sensibility of 42!  :-)

I will try this.  When I built it last night, I got a successful compile, but it didn't do anything.
For example, taskset 1 ls did not output _anything_ -- no error message and no ls output :-( ...

It will be the weekend here in Australia (I'm visiting, and wondering about exactly how and when I
will get home) so maybe I'll play with it some more on Saturday ...
