bash: syntax error near unexpected token `;' #79

Closed cpanceac closed 11 months ago

On page 6, when executing:

$ ./mem &; ./mem &

bash returns error:

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `;'

It works fine if we remove the ';'

yeah this was from my old csh stuff, and has since been fixed to work across different shells (the ; works in zsh and csh but not bash I guess)
