When fork1() running,  only the current forker thread can run,
other threads in same process are just suspended by the forker,
same as it it in exec().
I haven't looked uipc_sem.c, but as you said above, it seems
sem can be shared between processes, you'd care if A and B are
sharing same sem, but now B would like to fork a new child C,
not sure if you will have the problem within this condition.
