One distro I'm using is Manjaro, and they've set $BROWSER in
/etc/skel/.bashrc to xdg-open. In that situation, when a command line
program tries to open a port on localhost, xdg-open tries and fails.
fossil ui seems to persistly retry forever, causing a fork bomb.

So, the easy patch is to tell me to change my $BROWSER value, right?
Done. But if my diagnosis of the situation is correct, fossil ui should
be patched to fail gracefully.

In my case, manually opening my browser, and navigating to the port on
localhost succeeded in connecting me to fossil ui, but did not prevent
the fork-bomb from progressing to fatal.
