fork() processing must not load the modules again, even if it knew
where they've been loaded from. fork(), by definition, creates a 
1:1 copy of the process (address space). Programs might have changed
intenal fields and the new process might depend on that very value.

(The "1:1 copy" above applies to the UNIX part, only. MVS "things" like
data control blocks are not copied over).


I'd be interested to read the APAR but am not able to find it on IBMs
internet support pages (I can read other APARs).
