Unless I am wrong, rtdk also maintains a list of the thread buffers
which need to be polled. After the fork, this list will be intact, but
the threads to which belong the buffers will no longer exist. So, IMO,
the fork handler should also free all these buffers and reset the list
to the empty state.
