Under FreeMiNT this is not true. Every process have it's own process
descriptor with it's own unique pid, it's own signal handlers, it's own
open file vector, it's own memory and so on.
Pexec(104) is just a hack to push the child into the same address space as
the parent run. But the child is still a seperate process and not a thread
in the way most people see threads (especially the MagiC programmers).
