In a recent submission, Mr. Christoph D. Gatzka stated:

    "...If accounting is enables for both subprocess and process
    termination the cpu time (added to the master process upon
    subprocess termination) will be accounted twice (once for the
    subprocess and a second time when the user logs out)..." 
    
This is simply NOT TRUE!!  VMS does NOT accumulate master and sub-process
accounting data into a single accounting record.  VMS records ONLY those
resources consumed by a process, and that process alone, in its accounting
records.  

I suspect that Mr. Gatzka is confusing this with VMS's pooled quotas,
where certain quotas (such as CPU-time) are shared by a master process
and all its sub-processes.
