Hi,
I'm trying to use rfork(RFPROC | RFMEM) so that all the children can
share the same address space with their parent.
If I have multiple children issuing mallocs the children seem to core
dump. Once I turn the RFMEM flag off I have no problem mallocing (but
of course I loose the shared address space). Anyone know what I could
be doing wrong here? Do I have to put semaphores around every malloc??
I hope that's not the case... Thanks in advance!
Curtis
