I think setenv() will use malloc() (it might use mutexes), same for error printing if it uses printf() or perror(). Also, this is all mess if fork() is called from a multi-threaded context. Esp. via clone(), which up to certain glibc() vers

Sounds reasonable. I guess most process controlling syscalls (ptrace, prctl, seccomp, bpf, remotely operating on pid's FDs, setsid, signal masks) will have to be replaced to be able to operate on remote process or on a fd, but yeah, th

But having an upper bound doesn't make it O(1) automatically, no? It'd be like saying that Erastotenes' sieve is O(1) b/c for 64bit integers we know what upper exec time limit is? IMO id'd be rather creative use of
