P.S.: Correction. It seems as though sending SIGINT to the
process while it's echoing numbers is what leads to the fork
error, not the command itself. This seems repeatable.
Contrariwise, doing something like

for i in $(seq 1 1000000); do echo $i; done

and then SIGINTing it doesn't seem to cause any problems. I
thought those were basically equivalent.
