I understand that. However it could be that there is no problem with thread, but there is a problem with the implementation of fork (using thread). Put it in this way, say, there is an issue with a piece of your Perl code, obviously it could be caused by a bug in Perl itself, but it could also be a bug you introduced into your code, right? the same thing here.

That's why I said you jumped to conclusion, unless you clearly come up a piece of threading code, without fork(), to show us that the problem is not really caused by the implementation of fork() itself, but the underlying thread.

I am not saying that you must be wrong, but rather saying your conclusion is not logically well supported. For me to say that "you must be wrong", I have to come up with a piece of threading code to demo that it does not have the problem even without timeout, which I didn't do. Because I didn't do, I don't have the right to jump to the opposite conclusion. The same logic applies to both of us, right ;-?
