This is extremely important for DBI, since the DBD layer is not loaded
until needed. Thus, unless you exercise your Connect in DBI, the DBD
is not loaded until each child is spawned. I'm sure other modules do
some sort of initialization as well which could break sharing since
perl code and data pages are the same as far as the OS is concerned.
