qfork()

Of course assuming that the parent doesn't care about the return value
of qfork(), then one could manage to conform to the restrictions by:

	if (qfork() == 0) exit(execve(...));

or for the truly sick-at-heart:

	(status = qfork()) ? 1 : exit(execve(...));

(Of course it _could_ be argued that, in the second example, the very
assignment of status = qfork() violates the rules, but I thought the
humor value was high.)

But _I'm_ not writing code like that! <grin>
