qfork() (The Spawn of spawn())

[Peter da Silva]

( Guido lists a couple of systems where a function with spawn() type
  semantics (create a new process and load a program)... )

Also, most DEC operating systems use this sort of call for process creation.
AmigaOS does things in the opposite order: you load a segment and then use
CreateProc to start executing it.
