My fault.  I always forget that <<EOF doesn't expand to a temporary filename
(as it ought to, and used to in my old world), but instead is just one more
way of putting things at stdin.

. still shouldn't just continue, and run the command in a second fork
. _after_ the initial shell script has quit.  That _has_ to be a bug?
