#- So, what does it return on failure? I tried it under Linux
#- with Python-2.3.4, after few thousand forks the system just hangs!
#- (does not return/report fork failure)

Be aware that mybe in this case, when the system hangs, the fork does not
raises OSError because the system does not returns nothing because, well, it
hangs.
