I think an alternate solution is to have no shared variables between
threads once they are forked, and communicate through standard IPC
(pipes, semaphores, etc.). This would preserve backwards
compatibility and speed, while using more memory and making the
programmers' job harder (but the lower number of bugs may be worth
it).
