I guess I'm confused as to why one should expect things exec'd to run in 
a certain sequence.  Isn't that the point of execing?  If you're going to 
start 2 processes yet expect one to do something before the other needs it,
you need to make sure the processes synchronize themselves.  Obviously, this
synchronization is not happening here or in Art's example AFAICT.  Why do
you expect to see synchronization here?
