I was also under the impression that QNX does NOT implement the fork()
system call. This is just fine for realtime work (fork() is a pig), but
it's not adequate in a development environment where you're going to want
to run your favorite UNIX tools.

I could go into why fork() is a lossage for non-VM systems, and how it's
cool for VM, and so on... but I won't.
