Your prompt and bash assumptions are correct, though I don't understand how Donald Duck fits in. I was remiss in not being more specific, I will add that info to the node so that it's clear. Thanks for pointing that out.

Given that, no, I did not mean '&&'. I was specifically trying to execute multiple requests at the same time. The server is written around a fork, and I was testing how this behaved.

These results are obviously different, as you say, but they are consistent and reproducible across several platforms (granted, all running bash), and my question is why and how this comes to pass.
