    # This module provies a `safe_exec` method which is a drop-in
    # replacement for `Kernel.exec` which addresses a specific issue
    # which manifests on OS X 10.5 (GH-51) and perhaps other operating systems.
    # This issue causes `exec` to fail if there is more than one system
    # thread. In that case, `safe_exec` automatically falls back to
    # forking.
