Update of bug #45625 (project octave):

                Category:                    None => Interpreter            
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #2:

Good catch.  I don't think the fork command should be allowed at the top-level
command line.  What you are seeing seems to be the parent and child both
competing to receive input from the keyboard.  I believe a simple fix is to
change the fork DEFUN in syscalls.cc to check whether Octave is at the
top-level.  I thought I could just use the function at_top_level() from
symtab.h, but it fails to compile.  I'm CC'ing jwe because he will know the
correct function to use.
