Hmm, no, I've made a mistake. It uses an extra 1 GiB as free -m says. Anyways, thanks for the code :) Now I know that I cannot execute fork()-s from heavy programs.

    I don't use *nix, but I think that the tool you are using is giving you bad info.

    AFAIK: That memory will not be cloned unless the forked child accesses it.
