Default value for numCapabilities?

[Dimitry Golubovsky]

Hi,

Interesting: my program is compiled with -threaded, and when I run it
with +RTS -N I get:

<program name>: forking not supported with +RTS -N<n> greater than 1

This is probably about forkProcess rather than forkIO/forkOS, but why
this limitation? rawSystem works fine from within a thread started by
forkIO, but why cannot I use forkProcess?
