Additional note based on phone discussion:
page 497 line 17271:
Note that after a fork( ), two handles (Ed: either file descriptor or FILE
* in this context) exist where one existed before. The application shall
ensure that, if both handles can ever be accessed, they are both in a state
where the other could become the active handle first. The application shall
prepare for a fork( ) exactly as if it were a change of active handle. (If
the only action performed by one of the processes is one of the exec
functions or _exit( ) (not exit( )), the handle is never accessed in that
process.) 

This apparently includes it being the application's responsibility to
unlock any locks established by <i>fcntl</i>() or <i>f(try)lockfile</i>()
on the stream, whether the application is single or multi-threaded, before
attempting the call to <i>fork</i>() so either parent or child process may
establish a new lock without blocking, if desired, and otherwise the
behavior is undefined.
