I would like to use this functionality to fork an apache request so that
the parent can serve up some content while the child carries on with some
number-crunching or other time consuming task.
I know that there might be some bad interactions with apache if you fork,
but if you allow PHP to spot that it forked and call _exit() instead of
returning into the SAPI, you should be OK?
