I follow the rules about comments defined in The Practice Of
Programming by Kernighan and Pike. Comments are only supplied if
the code isn't self-explaining enough and needs more context
information. However I agree that some parts would gain
readability and provide a better understanding if there were
comments. Though, no comments are better than wrong or outdated
comments, which are misleading.

Yes, I agree on that. However, I thought that most C hackers
already know the double-fork trick.
