Realistically there is only so much we can do to support hand-rolled
threads, especially cases like this where the standard's behavior of
fork is defined only in terms of pthreads and is defined a certain way
because of the limitations of pthreads.

It would be nice to develop (and push through to standardization) a
better threads library than pthreads, but it's not a trivial
undertaking.
