It's supported at the ntdll layer, meaning that all the win32-ism's such as their thread-local storage model don't survive the fork() at all. For pure NT kernel code it would be fine, for blended code (even the clib uses the Win32 API) it's very quirky. > Prefork model adds to the stability I feel. For buggy modules you are absolutely right, it disrupts only the connection which caused the instability - and requests which don't trigger the bugs continue to work fine. > I am not sure if code in one thread corrupts the heap what will happen?
