You wouldn't want it to fork every time -- you'd probably want to fork
off a set number of processes, and then pass information to/from them
in round-robin fashion.  So you still couldn't do unlimited
parallelism, but you could service N requests at a time instead of
just one.

It shouldn't be too tough to do for someone actually familiar with
your code, but I couldn't easily walk an inexperienced C programmer
through it via email.

It might, depending on how your C library code is written.  Give it a
try and see....
