I dont know of any SysV or BSD threading models
vfork is quite similar to the concept of the thread , well not exactly a thread
but more reliable than using threads ie on a fault only the process in question
dies as opposed to threads where the whole process craters , but of course we
all right bug free code so who cares ;-).
on a different note I am still not convinced Linux kernel level threads are
better than user level threads like on solrais or IRIX. Linux threads in my
experience are much more memory intensive
