It consisted of a couple of hundred relatively small, standalone programs.
I don't think this has to do anything with swap space.

Just repeat after me:

1) Extract the hello.c program and the loop-cc shell script from
   the shar archive appended to this article.

2) On terminal #1, type:
   nohup loop-cc > loop-cc.out 2>&1 &

3) On terminal #2, type:
   tail -f loop-cc.out

4) Keep watching terminal #2 a few seconds

5) Now log terminal #1 out.

6) Watch terminal #2 again.

7) Answer the question: What gives?  :-)
