No, you'd start a Forth task for each incoming tcp connection (or maybe
a pair of tasks per connection, for bidirectional i/o).  All those tasks
would be running in a single unix process.  They would typically serve
multiple pages, since browsers will send multiple requests (serially)
over a single connection (http 1.1 keepalive).
