Indeed! It appears that process-fork's type hasn't just changed in the
number of arguments but also the types, which we both overlooked.
The first argument can be #f now, so you can create a fork of a process
with all threads killed, but without running a thunk. The documentation
was correctly changed, but here's a fix for types.db.
Cheers,
Peter
