    I am trying to use the Fork() function to create a new process.  We are 
working on creating a basic bootable kernel that will allow "task 
switching."  We have found various examples of the Fork() Function, most 
also include the getpid() function.  However, when we boot using our kernel 
and then run this series of functions, just as the examples show, our kernel 
prints out 5 hex sequences followed by the _exit(1) command which reboots 
our system.  If we run just the Fork() function, the system crashes.  If we 
run just the getpid() function, it works okay, as far as we can see.  Any 
help is much appreciated (-:
