On Unix, osl_executeProcess obviously needs to initiate the fork(2)

Oh bye the way please do not use fork(2) to implement osl_executeProcess.
Have a look here:
http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/subprocess/subprocess.html
fork/exec has the advantages that it is (a) universally available and
(b) flexible enough for implementing the osl/process.h interface.
But, of course, you are welcome to create patches that improve the
current code. :)
