Yes, threads will work too ... processes are safer, though,
because the process model sand-boxes any bugs that may
be present in the child's code to the virtual memory space
of the child -- not true of threads sharing a common address
space. For the same reason, I tend to use UNIX sockets to
communicate between processes instead of shared
memory whenever feasible -- that way there is no way for
one process to touch another's memory space.
