Comment (by nh2):

 As a side note: In unix-2.5.0.0 (GHC 7.2), the haddocks of
 {{{forkProcess}}} say

 "GHC note: forkProcess is not currently supported when using multiple
 processors (+RTS -N), although it is supported with -threaded as long as
 only one processor is being used."

 but as of unix-2.5.1.0 (GHC 7.4) that note is gone.
