Whilst reading the ripples that resulted from our recent discussion of 
asynchonous invocation and parallelism in vanilla OCaml, someone mentioned 
the idea of "fork-friendly" garbage collectors.

I believe this refers to the coalescing of GC tags into contiguous memory. If 
so, that means that OCaml's current GC is not fork-friendly because it 
scatters tags everywhere.

Is that correct?
