Thanks, I confirmed the problem was fixed on snapshot.
test_3_join_in_forked_from_thread doesn't hang now.

The test still fails, but this is because fork() copies only calling thread,
not main thread which will call fflush(stdout) on program termination.
This is allowed in POSIX, so expected behavior.
