Huh? On 4.3BSD:

	% cat > c.c
	main()
	{
		pause();
	}
	% cc c.c
	% file a.out
	a.out:       demand paged pure executable not stripped
	% a.out &
	[1] 25056
	% : > a.out
	a.out: Text file busy
	% /bin/rm a.out
	% jobs -l
	[1]  + 25056 Running              a.out
	% kill %1
	[1]    Terminated           a.out
	%
