fork + dlls

Hi,
When you manually load a dll, and then perform a fork, the dll
is not accessible from the child process. When you think about what
is going on here, it makes sense. My question though is, is this the
way fork should behave? Or should (could) the fork code reload the
dll in the child process after a fork? It seems that this would
more closely follow the expected fork semantics.
Opinions?
Tim N.
