Fork detection using getpid is not reliable. It gives false negatives

code which is fundamentally broken anyway.
Uh, that's a bit non-chalant, no? Yes, the UNIX PID concept is awfully
designed, but if you argue on that level, you#d have to remove kill(),
and half of the other syscalls that take a PID from glibc too...
don't get me wrong: this is exactly how you argue to all others over
years "fundamentally broken anyway, fix it"
