Comment:

 We used to disable timers in the child of fork, but somehow that got lost
 between the version of process shipped with 6.8 and the one shipped with
 6.10.  I will look into what happened, there might be something else going
 on.

 It might be that we haven't seen any problems because on Linux we're not
 using itimers any more, we're using timer_create().
