in reply to While loop not exiting when expected.

I can't reproduce your problem with the code given. The last output of your program goes like this:
11733 started. Got arguments: i2 j2 11734 started. Got arguments: k2 l2 11735 started. Got arguments: m2 n2 11736 started. Got arguments: o2 p2 11737 started. Got arguments: q2 r2 Foobar! Foobar! Foobar! Foobar! Foobar! 11737 returned 0. 11734 returned 0. 11736 returned 0. 11735 returned 0. 11733 returned 0. 11738 started. Got arguments: s2 t2 11739 started. Got arguments: u2 v2 11740 started. Got arguments: w2 y2 11741 started. Got arguments: x2 z2 Foobar! Foobar! Foobar! Foobar!
and then it terminates as expected.

I'm on v5.8.0 built for i586-linux-thread-multi.
