Fenghua, please step back for a second and look at what you are saying.
 Your patch caused userspace to break.  Now, you're telling someone that
they need to go change that userspace to work around something that your
patch.  How, exactly, are you suggesting that nginx could change to fix
this?  What, specifically, was it doing with *fork()* that was wrong?

It sounds to me like you're saying that it's OK to break userspace.
