Except, it's been alive so long now, it must be more like a ghost in the
machine.  Someone must've attempted to kill it by now.  Apparently, it
simply respawns, perhaps like so...

: remove_Gavino
   ...
   ...
   ...
   Gavino \ tail call ghost in the machine
;

: find_Gavinos
   get_first_process
   begin
     dup 0= if exit then
     dup is_Gavino if kill_Gavino remove_Gavino else drop then
     get_next_process
   again
;

: Gavino_virus_scan ( -- )
   find_Gavinos
;

The virus scan would never terminate, infinite loop, perpetual respawn ...

Or, maybe someone thought POSTPONE Gavino meant something else.
