In an xterm window, I ran a script:
    #!/bin/sh
    for host in oliver binkley steve btc portnoy yaz hodge podge snork charon
    do
	    finger @$host
    done

Because podge is currently down, I hit ^C while it was trying to
connect, and starting typing another finger command.  Before I
completed it, the window showed a stream of
	Use "exit" to leave csh.
messages, and went away.

I tried to pull up another xterm, but it gave the same messages and
went away again.  Then another xterm, same result.

After this, I started up "shell" mode in emacs, and two xterms, at
about the same time; all started without trouble.
