I would write “in a multi-threaded process”.

Perhaps we'll need another commit for this.  "I would write" sounds
to me like you are not absolutely sure.  None of us is an English
native speaker, can some native speakers (or just experts) chime in
and help us, please?

Florian is right. Also, the word "a" is missing. Please change "after fork callin multithread environment" to "after a fork call in a multi-threaded process".This is the terminology used in<http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/pthread_atfork.html>except that the GNU style does not put "()" after function names. Thanks.
