    kernel - Be nicer to pthreads in vfork()
    
    * When vfork()ing, give the new sub-process's lwp the same TID as the one
      that called vfork().  Even though user processes are not supposed to do
      anything sophisticated inside a vfork() prior to exec()ing, some things
      such as fileno() having to lock in a threaded environment might not be
      apparent to the programmer.
    
    * By giving the sub-process the same TID, operations done inside the
      vfork() prior to exec that interact with pthreads will not confuse
      pthreads and cause corruption due to e.g. TID 0 clashing with TID 0
      running in the parent that is running concurrently.
