I have a prototype implementation that works only for Linux, only when the environment is inherited, but seems to show that the clone/fork approach works.

The main idea is that passing these flags: CLONE_VM | SIGCHLD to clone() appears to work. Passing CLONE_VFORK in addition also seems to work, and may be more reliable.

Michael, we will need to coordinate to come up with something that will work for all our Unices.
