+   When forking the process, some threads can be interrupted during the second
+   state; they won't be present in the forked child, so we need to restart

+   can reclaim iff it differs from the current fork generation.

+   initialization is interrupted, we then fork 2^30 times (30 bits of
+   once_control are used for the fork generation), and try to initialize
+   again, we can deadlock because we can't distinguish the in-progress and
