And I tend to forget that the file offset is shared between child and
parent in this case. Maybe it's because I want to forget about that
particular detail to begin with.

And the test fork10.c actually checks the offset case, so I have no idea
what to do with fork09.c test. Maybe we should just delete the test and
write new for something that is not currently tested, there is plenty of
Linux-specific behavior listed in fork(2) man page that is not tested at
all...
