Heh. What an interesting bug.
However, it doesn't seem to be an X server bug. Typing the same commands into
a mintty causes that to exit as well.

What is happening here is that the X server has been started with xinit or
startx, and the command is typed into the initial xterm. When that exits, the
X server is shut down to.

'ls proc/*/*' doesn't seem to reproduce it, but 'ls dev/*/*' does.
