When I fork() inside a program, the PID of the child is
incremented by two. Very odd. The system has zero activity on
it, and I can repeatedly get the same result. The program works
however, it just seems odd to me that the parent's PID is say
500, and an immediate fork() gives the child a PID of 502. In
looking at other programs running in the system, they appear to
increment by one.
Just an oddity I thought perhaps someone could describe for me...
