IIRC, becouse of some basepage magic needed to be done when switching 
context of threads that belong to single process, fork is not a very 
good idea in FreeMiNT. IIRC (again) MiNTLib fork() has a workaround for 
that that actually creates new process in the same address space 
(instead of just forking).
