bash and '&'

[Wei Ku]

I got the exactly result from b19. Ghostview& is still alive after exit from
bash. However, the console window does not disappear until Ghostview is
closed. This is slightly different from the situation in true UNIX machine.

I would guess that Mr. Sergey Okhapkin has a clear idea why the console
window is still there.
