Operating system: Linux
PHP version:      4.3.1
PHP Bug Type:     Unknown/Other Function
Bug description:  pcntl_fork() reruns forked script

The following script:

<?php

echo "Hello!";
if (pcntl_fork()) {

   exit;

}

?>

Should produce only one "Hello!". The problem is that it appears to
restart execution of the script, causing the text "Hello!" to appear
twice.

This is _NOT_ how fork() works. The process should continue executing from
where the pcntl_fork() function call was issued, and exit the parent
process.

Is this related to SA_RESTART and changes made to restart signal handlers
in PHP 4.3.0?
