[Adium-devl] Let's abandon disk images

It doesn't seem so. exec just returns (in errno) ENOTSUP which means  
(supposedly) "operation not supported". fork() on the other hand may  
just cause you problems if you don't exec, as the new process might  
still share some resources with its parent. Or at least that's what I  
understood from your link :)
