Kevin:

> Regarding your comment regarding the behavior being expected with the "fork" method, I would suggest a documentation modification in the description of the fork method to add something to the effect of "All resources of the parent are inherited by the child process; this includes the ability of later children to act as the parent of earlier children via the various functions in this package."

I would rather keep the latter part ("the ability of later children to act as the parent of earlier children via the various functions in this package") an implementation detail rather than a documented feature.  Who knows, perhaps some day we'll change the implementation so that those are not inherited anymore.
