register the atfork handler from arc4random From kettenis@ People have suggested using pthread_atfork(3) before, but discarded the idea because it involves linking with -lpthread, which has other undesirable consequences. However: * Most systems actually have pthread_atfork(3) in libc. I verified this on OS X and Solaris. I believe this is the case on Linux systems that use musl as well. * On Linux systems that use glibc, this isn't the case. However, those systems have __register_atfork(3), which is fully documented in the "Linux Standard Base Core Specification". ok kettenis@ deraadt@ beck@
