>From "Programming with POSIX Threads" [David R. Butenhof]:
p.197-198:
... Avoid using fork in a threaded program (if you can)
unless you intend to exec a new program immediately
... Pthreads does not "terminate" the other threads
in a forked process. ... They simple cease to exist.
... The state of mutexes is not affected by a fork. If
it was locked in the parent it is locked in the child!
