Are .data segments shared or private?  That is, if children get
created using m_fork, do they each get a copy of the segment or
do they share it?  The assembler manual doesn't explicitly say
either way, but I'd be really surprised if it weren't private
since that is the default in C and also since there is a
.shdata directive (but no .privdata one).  Thanks.
