Vi doesn't wait for spawned children, on things like
50,75!cat >> foo
I had something like this mapped to a keystroke and was
using it to partition my mailbox. After thirty or so
spawns, it says "no more processes" and goes into a mode
where it simply echoes every character you type at it.
All the defunct processes stay around till you exit.

Acrostic is a poem form
Containing a device
Rhyming's not essential, no it
Only makes it nice
Sometimes it is difficult
To write acrostic muse
It took a lot of patience
Composing this for youse Mason Williams
