Strange!
On HP-UX it behaves the same way for me with or without nohup, exiting before the end of the loop.
On Linux it always displays 'out of loop', with or without nohup.
On Solaris it behaves as you describe... however if I add a #!/usr/bin/ksh shebang line it behaves the way you would expect (i.e. like HP-UX). So it seems to be a feature of the Solaris Bourne shell. Is that what you are using?
