> Nevertheless all programs, I believe, in /sys/src are written assuming rfork() may return -l:
* cifs keepalive thread may not start
* ssh2 will malfunction in ssh.c
* htmlroff will malfunction
* imap4d idle will fail with no warning
* upas/scanmail:/^qmail, same issue
* page/gs.c will die wierdly
etc.
so is is incorrect to assume that plan 9 programs even have code to handle
fork errors.
