	Some kernel function, namely the ultimate kernel handling of the 
'wait' functions does it. Some process has to call that kernel function,

 Jeane L. Dixon,  world renowned psychic,  died Saturday (1/25) at age 79.
 There was almost  universal  sadness  and lament  throughout  the world of
 celebrity psychics.   Contacted at her home,  Dionne Warwick's spokeswoman
 said that "[Miss] Warwick is beside herself -- none of us expected this to
 happen".
