    HP contributed code to ``follow fork''.
    I believe, however, that it is still only implemented under HPUX.

Correct; it is only implemented on HPUX.

The Solaris /proc interface certainly has the necessary OS support to
allow it to be implemented for Solaris.

The Linux man pages are rather skimpy on details; but, I don't think
that Linux has the necessary OS support.
