I did the original rfork for freebsd, and I wrote it so I split the stacks
too. It was lovely, since you just rforked and all was shared save the
stack -- no assembly required. When they did the committed version, after
fork, all was shared.  This sucked. It was quite a mess to fix up your
stack so you weren't walking on each other's stack -- required assembly
goo to make it go. I hated it and stopped using it.

So I like plan 9 rfork quite a bit. I think Linus/Linux are wrong.
