This works:

./linux rootfstype=hostfs rw init=/bin/ls -l > out.txt

This doesn't work:

./linux rootfstype=hostfs rw init=/bin/ls -l > out.txt &

But this works again:

./linux rootfstype=hostfs rw init=/bin/ls -l > out.txt < /dev/zero &

Just thought I'd mention it.  Dunno if it should be fixed, or just 
documented...

Well, it blocks.

It looks like UML is reading from stdin at some point (I haven't
looked to find out where; I suppose I should).

This is like system("/usr/funky/bin/perl -e 'exec sleep 1'");
