$1) certain situations can get standard output swallowed up into never-never

$ foo's commands to blort, but the standard output of all following commands

$ situations, the builtin echo command prints out the accumulated standard
$ output from previous commands. it's a bit unnerving having programs like
$ ls and cat silently appear to quit working... :-)
I have fixed this, and I sent the fix to Brian.
