Bug #2097: fork NotImplementedError on FreeBSD
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2097

Author: robert gleeson
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [x86_64-freebsd7.1]

Hi,

I'm not sure if a fix should be applied via patches to the FreeBSD port of ruby or in ruby itself, but on Ruby 1.9.1(patchlevel 129) you cannot fork a process.

irb(main):002:0> Process.fork
NotImplementedError: fork() function is unimplemented on this machine
        from (irb):2:in `fork'
        from (irb):2
        from /opt/ruby19/bin/irb19:12:in `<main>'

I love ruby, and I love FreeBSD. It'd be great if i can combine both. Thanks!
