The last patch attempted to do a bit better in limiting the cases where
the MONITOR option was left on to a straightforward subshell.  In this
example, the first fork is for a pipeline rather than subshell, so
MONITOR should be turned off before the subshell is started --- it's
perfectly possible I've missed a passage through the maze that should do
that, though.

We might well get into problems if MONITOR is explicitly turned back on,
but I don't have so much sympathy there.
