Overload: A one-way ticket to a madman's situation

Re: $*&$*&

Bit baffled myself. I'm reading it as: run the script's run-time commandline parameters in background, then copy them again to the commandline minibuffer and then.... type a meaningless dollar sign (AKA syntax error).

At best, requires you to enter a valid command after the script name when invoking it.

Unless there's some new Linux bash oddity?

Vs: while true; do; fork; done.
