 Thanks for the clarification, Alex, and the patch!  I learned about
 using fork on SysV, and I guess I assumed it was POSIX law.
 
 I'll play around with your patch.  I have some concerns about what it
 would do to a program that calls wait, but that's something I can
 experiment with.
 
 A big part is knowing that my assumption was inaccurate.  Thanks for
 the clarification!
 
 Cheers,
 joelh
