Does forkall() clone all running threads?
Solaris manpages are just wonderful :)
fork(2) says:

Threads
A call to forkall() replicates in the child process all of
the threads (see thr_create(3C) and pthread_create(3C)) in
the parent process. A call to fork1() replicates only the
calling thread in the child process.
In Solaris 10, a call to fork() is identical to a call to
fork1(); only the calling thread is replicated in the child
process. This is the POSIX-specified behavior for fork().

Applications that require replicate-all fork semantics must
call forkall().
Helps ?
