Would it be necessary to put this in master(), as that's where the easiest access to agv/c would be?

Some support in the master is necessary, but the function itself probably belongs in the Process module. There are already two variables _pike_file_name and _master_file_name in the master for this.

Yes, on SunOS 5.9

Good. I think the problem with threads at startup was on e.g. Solaris. Did you test there?

It doesn't. It's useful to start new pike scripts at any time in a multithreaded application. fork only works at startup before any threads are started.
