Well... it's not, really. Yeah, MMK is creating a subprocess, but
it's not attached to the controlling terminal. MMK binds the
subprocess' SYS$INPUT, SYS$OUTPUT, and SYS$ERROR so it can intercept
them. The subprocesses are *not* the same as you'll get from, say,
spawn. The subprocess is completely isolated, or as isolated as MMK
can make it.
