I don't see this at all. You get many of the advantages of the single
address space: everything is shared save the stack. Most people who have
brought this up over the years want this type of behaviour, and find
themselves having to hack it in user mode, and not enjoying the
experience. I used this very version of rfork extensively for years for
shared-memory programming and it was fine.
Anyway, if I get to this it goes on my web page ..
