Re: Using fork in jni

[Sven Köhler <skoehler at upb dot de>]

i wonder what fork() does, when it is called by a library a app uses.

i think the app is forked too, so you would fork the JVM which is a 
thing that you must not do.

in addition the JVM is threaded! so fork() is the wrong thing here - 
even under Linux i think.
