Please please please add a big huge warning to your crate that it should never be used in multi-threaded programs. fork() is not safe when there is more than one thread present, as the child process can easily deadlock (or worse) if the fork() happens at just the wrong time with respect to what other threads are doing.



I'm proposing that change here: https://github.com/brannondorsey/mem-isolate/pull/44

Let me know if you think this wording could be improved or I'm missing any details.
