No; fork is used to start a child process. What I'm talking about is a
module that can be automatically shared between unrelated address
spaces, with private copies of the writable data. Look at the linkage
segment in Multics for an example of how that works elsewhere,
although that particular implementation depends on architectural
features missing from z.
