Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
It should just be a syscall updating a couple of fields in the kernel side
process info. Confirming, in glibc is appears to be a shim for the setsid
syscall (based on not finding any code implementing anything special for it)
and in uclibc (much easier to read) it is clearly just a setsid syscall shim.
A breadcrumb suggesting that it is not allowed on Darwin/macOS comes from
a commit in emacs: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2017-04/msg00297.html
but I don't have a way to verify if that is true or not.
As we are not supporting vfork on macOS today I just left a note in a comment.
