I did something similar, but also had the shell restore the state if the
process exited due to a signal, presuming someone killed it and it may
not have had a chance to clean up.  I suppose it's conceivable that a
program could be written that killed itself as a normal exit procedure,
but I haven't yet come across a program that badly written :-)
