kill != killgroup!

I could shutdown the whole system by killing a child of a zombie-process,  
but I dont exactly remember how I did it. In toswin try to run sh "-c  
sleep 88"&, then kill the sh, then kill the sleep, or something similar.

Yes - but qed is the one that freezes, so memory-protection probably would  
not catch this. One will have to trace all the way the data goes when  
something is copied to the clipboard in the worst case.
