OK, I'd like to propose another option to rfork to make it a little more
usable for mortals. The option is RFSTACK. This will cause rfork to work
like my original version, in that the stack segment (all memory from
USERSTACK and up) will be cloned. 

This would really make a big improvement in rfork usability.
