I know it's not enough justification, but doing  an "echo 1" from a 
backgrounded bash script process doesn't kill the script. I understand 
that you should redirect STDOUT, but in Ruby should programmers really 
need to concern about this?
Or maybe this would translate to the users of that Ruby program to be 
forced to redirect STDOUT and STDERR to /dev/null or something (which 
also seems a bit weird to me).
