Hi, you wrote:

I'd also like to see COW used by fork().
[Reminds me about system() and [v]fork(), you'll read that soon!]

After all, modern unixes don't have it just for fun,
it results in better performance and response time and lower resource
usage, as only a small portion might be actually modified.
But I can understand if implementing it has lower priority...
