No, the function does it on its own, IIRC. Of course you have to define the
stack when you try to implement the function on your own. See mintlib
(thread.c).

tfork() isn't a system function. tfork() is a MiNTLib function that uses
system functions like Pexec() and Mshrink() to perform. As long as MagiC
implements these, it is compatible.
