Yeah. I don't think this is too big a problem, though. The main thing
I had to give up in writing the fork-based version was the ability to
pass any detailed results back from the subprocesses to the parent.
As long as the code works under that constraint, it'll be fine in a
thread-based environment, AFAICS.
