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