When I ported dns I was very impressed that
it correctly handled rfork failing (because p9p
doesn't do shared-memory rfork).  You can argue
about cutting corners all you want, but it's a 
slippery slope.  

You end up with more robust software when you
think about what to do in the error cases instead
of just assuming they won't happen.
