  • Repetitive code avoided by using inline function for testing whether we are handling a fork(), vfork(), or clone() bomb
  • Code optimisation, with help (and a patch!) from Michal Suszycki <mike@wizard.ae.krakow.pl> Thanks Michael!
  • Comments added, and code cleaned up.

 		 Support for defusing clone() and vfork() bombs added Thanks to Frank v Waveren for the suggestion! This is because in addition to the fork() system call, clone() and vfork() can also create additional tasks.

Instead of giving the offending processes another chance (EAGAIN:Try Again), they are now nipped in the bud.
