- Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Cygwin: fork: Always pause child after fixups.
- References: <20190412175825.GD4248@calimero.vinschen.de>
Pause the child process after performing fork fixups even if there were
no dynamically loaded dlls with extra data/bss transfers to wait for.
This allows the parent process to cancel the current fork call even if
the child process was successfully initialized already.
This is a preparation for when the parent does remember the child no
earlier than after successful child initialization.
