isn't it better to just swich to the newly created lwp and let it do these? ie. 1. the parent does a fork equivalent without address space stuff 2. the child starts running but does not return to userland yet (thus no need to have a valid address space at this point yet) it processes requested actions and then does an exec equivalent 3. done YAMAMOTO Takashi
