To answer that question: yes. BSDI from 3.0 onward has pthread_atfork(),
though threads remain unusable until BSDI 4.1 (because of a bug in libc
where pause() stops listening to signals when compiling for threads.) I
haven't actaully tested this patch yet, just gave it a once-over ;) I will
test it on all types of machines we have, though.
