ets weirdness when using -run

wait_forever() ->
	receive
		stop ->
			done
	end,
	wait_forever().

This way you can request that the process terminate by sending it
a 'stop' message:

	ProcessPid ! stop

Why do I like Perl?  Because ``in accordance with Unix tradition Perl
gives you enough rope to hang yourself with.''

Why do I dislike Java? Because ``the class ROPE that should contain the
method HANG to do the hanging doesn't exist because there is too much
'security' built into the base language.''
