 It seems that fork() doesn't explicitly clear the realtimer, rather
 p_realtimer is in the zero'd section of struct proc whereas the
 p_itimer array with the old real timer and the other two interval
 timers is in the copy section of p_stat.  The patch below moves
 p_itimer to the zero section of p_stat instead:
