It took me a bit to notice this snippet in `sanitizer_solaris.cpp`:
```
DECLARE__REAL_AND_INTERNAL(int, fork, void) {
  // TODO(glider): this may call user's pthread_atfork() handlers which is bad.
  return _REAL(fork)();
}
```
which didn't show up in searches for `internal_fork`.

>From what I could learn from `libc` disassembly and the OpenSolaris sources, the only way to avoid the handlers on Solaris is to invoke the syscall directly.  This is highly unportable, however: syscalls are an implemention detail that can (and **does**) change.  There's reasonable hope that this won't happen for the remaining livetime of Solaris 11.4, though.

I'll give such a patch a try...
