I believe this has to do with running a process that forks from the DEBUG
trap while executing a pipeline.
Just another reason executing a DEBUG trap for a simple command that's run
as part of a pipeline is a bad idea.
This looks like a Linux-only problem, so I'll look when I have better
access to a Linux machine.
