I'm totally unfamiliar with KSE, so perhaps this a stupid question --  
it seems to solve the issue locally, so I'll ask it --
Why not place the fork() code inside of _kse_critical_enter /  
_kse_critical_leave, to ensure upcalls are blocked while re- 
initializing in the child process post-fork?

Unless I'm off base, this should be an adequate replacement for this  
code?
