Actually, I didn't expect otherwise, but still: Thanks!

Merged to core-8-5-branch and trunk now.

This doesn't mean that there is no room for further
improvement! In this commit:
    <http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/info/ec1a5f8686>
Daniel Steffen modified the OSX notifier, creating
the notifier thread in Tcl_WaitForEvent() in stead
of in Tcl_InitNofier(). That would mean that in
Rivet on OSX the notifier thread doesn't exist
yet when the fork() runs, which prevents the
whole problem we are handling here. That would
be a good improvement for the Unix Notifier as well.
