It might be..
rfork comes from plan 9 and along with sfork it wasn't part of the
4.4BSDlite 2 release, OTOH if both are the same, why aren't we referencing
it in our syscalls for compatibility with BSDI ?
I can't find a reference to sfork elsewhere, but anyone with BSD/OS 2.x
or later should know for sure.
cheers,
Pedro.
