 No, it really is that easy.  It's just that nobody has bothered to do
 the updates since Runtime was changed around.
 
 I think this patch is fine.  I don't think there is any problem
 allocating memory in the child after a fork (with vfork there might be
 a problem, but we explicitly don't do that).
 
 I'm testing this and will check it in once it is done.
 I'm simultaneously putting in the PR 7570 patch.
 
 
 I think you've reached the limit of freebie patches :-(.
 After this, we'll have to get paperwork from you.  Do you know about
 this process?  (Maybe you already have the paperwork and I just don't
 know or have forgotten?)
 
 Thanks,
 Tom
