It occured to me as I was biking home tonight that netscape isn't the
thing that is "placing the netscape process in its own process
group". Instead, it's the shell.
Why is the shell doing this?? Because it supports job control, that's
why. Process groups help facilitate job control.
Now I can go to sleep.
