    It does if an application detects pthread_fork during configure and
    uses it. You then can't use libmap to redirect libpthread to one of
    the other thread libraries for testing, since you'll get an undefined
    symbol error at runtime.

    Nikos Ntarmos also noticed that there's no pthread_atfork manpage. We
    could probably just use the Single Unix one.
