      1 """This test case provides support for checking forking and wait behavior.
      2 
      3 To test different wait behavior, override the wait_impl method.
      4 
      5 We want fork1() semantics -- only the forking thread survives in the
      6 child after a fork().
      7 
      8 On some systems (e.g. Solaris without posix threads) we find that all
      9 active threads survive in the child after a fork(); this is an error.
     10 
     11 While BeOS doesn't officially support fork and native threading in
     12 the same application, the present example should work just fine.  DC
