Summary: forkProcess does not terminate main threads

Initial Comment:
There is a defficiency in the current implementation of 
forkProcess, namely that main threads are not 
terminated.  Currently, it is only safe to call forkProcess 
when there is a single main thread in the system, and 
forkProcess must be called from that thread.

forkProcess has a new interface, and the old bad behaviour
has gone away in 6.2.
