What's the failure here? The fork but not yet exec means we think the shell has done a (subshell) or backgrounded& something, so we killed two instances of the test. Ok. This is bad how? Isn't killall supposed to kill all? (What test actually fails?) If we're not running in a sufficiently controlled environment theoretically two instances of the test _suite_ could be running at the same time. I'm confused...
