Before, the continuations all returned `unit`. This makes it easy to get confused about what it means (as in ocaml-multicore#1 and ocaml-multicore#3). Using a distinct type for this should prevent such errors in future. The error in ocaml-multicore#1 now results in: Error: This expression has type effect but an expression was expected of type [ `Exit_scheduler ] The error in ocaml-multicore#3 now results in: Error: This expression has type [ `Exit_scheduler ] but an expression was expected of type unit because it is in the left-hand side of a sequence

The `execve` action allocated the arrays in the forked child process.
However, in a multi-threaded program we might have forked while another
thread had the malloc lock. In that case, the child would wait forever
because it inherited the locked mutex but not the thread that would
unlock it. e.g.
#0 futex_wait (private=0, expected=2, futex_word=0xffff9509cb10 <main_arena>) at ../sysdeps/nptl/futex-internal.h:146
