   Take a real good look at what you're doing.

   For each number out of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10:

   * You spawn one process.
   * It continually spawns more and more processes, sticking them
into the background.

   This is shooting yourself in the foot.  What do you plan on
doing with that, anyway?

   (This will exceed the max process limit very quickly.)
