The problem is fork(), which requires making a copy of the original
data image.  Without memory mapping, where do you put it so that pointers
don't break?

Administrative note: Now that info-68K is acting like it's alive
again, I should point out that it's gatewayed to usenet as
mod.comuters.68K. Postings from there appear in my mailbox, where I
forward them to info-68k. Until I (or someone else) gets around to
fixing redist, they'll look like the above. E-mail replies should go
to the author, whose address can be found in the From: line in the
forwarded message.
