You're not using the system the way it was intended.  In a full-blown
Plan 9 setup there is a file server and a cpu server, and users each
sit at their own terminals.  To change users, you reboot the terminal,
but any long-running stuff on the cpu server doesn't go away just
because one terminal rebooted.

Rebooting has been easy enough, so we haven't bothered to put
more complexity into the system to make changing users easier.
