Also, it has a problem with long arguments:
$ cat t.sh
#!/bin/sh
all="$*"
echo $# ${#all}
sleep 5
$ ./t.sh a "$(yes | head -10000)" b
3 20003
$ screen ./t.sh a "$(yes | head -10000)" b
[ displays "3 20003", pauses 5 seconds, exits ]
$ screen screen ./t.sh a "$(yes | head -10000)" b
[ displays "1 1", pauses 5 seconds, exits ]
$
Here it loses all the arguments after the first long one !
