To be more precise, it should be more like a rfork() like thing that doesn't change any resources except the stack, a process structure and processor context. Specifically, processor VMspace is basically left at whatever it is already at, and there is no 'signal' stuff or file descriptor table munging. We might even allow the MMU to be left unchanged too. julian > > Warner > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
