And so while I don't like doing so, it sounds like it would be worth
wrapping all calls to fork() within the API with a version that
frees the process (and static, while it exists) lock(s).  Because
unlike lxc_fopen(), this would be needed for all libcs and in
perpetuity.  (Ideally we'd be able to do it through linker magic
without having to write a wrapper;  else we must have a make rule
that kindly warns developers to use lxc_fork() unless a file is
tagged as single-threaded).

That's just a thought for a future patch, not a request for this patch!

I agree, that this is worth doing as remembering to put process_unlock() after 
each fork() is quite tedious.
Linker-based approach should work.
As far as I can see, the second approach could be implemented either via 
grepping source file for fork() in Makefile or just defining a macro fork() to 
cause a compilation error (though these errors may be quite cryptic).

Thank you for reviewing the patchset!
Also great thanks to S.Çağlar Onur for his testing and detection of openpty() 
problem!
