Hi Gilles and Dmitry,

I actually prefer Gilles proposal to add the fault_vm() function after calling
a forking function. 
Dmitry's idea with a different context and inter process communication will surely
work but it makes the code less transparent as when using the fault_vm() function.
Are there situations where the fault_vm() could fail or is this fine in all situations?

Regards

Mathias
