To answer that question: yes. BSDI from 3.0 onward has pthread_atfork(), though threads remain unusable until BSDI 4.1 (because of a bug in libc where pause() stops listening to signals when compiling for threads.) I haven't actaully tested this patch yet, just gave it a once-over ;) I will test it on all types of machines we have, though.
