Well, I'm not sure how the application plus libraries linked, but there
was no explicit -lthr or -lpthread in the Makefile.  So the resulting
binary used the fork() in libc.  When I added -lthr the app grew by
about 15 bytes, and correctly used the fork() weak-referenced to the
explicit _fork() in libthr.

Weird.

Thanks,
