We are running a bunch of processes (in this case 10) (all suprtool
extracts) in parallel under a single process handler program.

The father process handler launches all the sons, checks the pins until all
son processes are suspended or terminated.  If the processes are suspended,
the father handler kills them off.  When all the pins are dead, the program
moves on.

Apparently, the act of killing a suspended suprtool process activates some
of the other suspended son processes (don't ask how, this is what it looks
like).

Then, the unsuspended suprtool processes seem to read from the job's STDIN
instead of the redirected $STDIN files that they were created with.

Has anyone seen such odd behavior when suspended processes are killed off
under MPE 5.5?
