then the tests will use APR_HAS_FORK to ensure that the tests are portable. > 2) Shared Memory implies a minimum of two processes.

When I get to a test that requires two programs, I will deal with that situation. It may mean that we have two processes, or it may mean that I use some other means to run the tests. I don't know, because I haven't hit this case yet.
