Description:
If a custom action run via a Bash script results in a command which is backgrounded (&), then somehow the custom action doesn't work.

Additional info:
* qtfm 5.5

Steps to reproduce:
Add a custom action (say) for mp3 or wav files: test %F
Create a Bash script on the PATH which is called test and make it executable.
If the test script ends with (say): [exec] deadbeef "$@"
the custom action works, but if the test script ends with: deadbeef "$@" &
then it doesn't execute.
(Don't think this is specific to any file type or actual audio player, etc - these are just examples.)
This task depends upon

Is this still a problem with qtfm 5.9-1?
