Here is a statement from OFED 1.3 alpha 2 release notes, it has not been changed for a few releases.
is there any update ?  Thanks.

3. Fork support from kernel 2.6.12 and above is available provided
   that applications do not use threads. The fork() is supported as long
   as the parent process does not run before the child exits or calls exec().
   The former can be achieved by calling wait(childpid), and the latter can be
   achieved by application specific means.  The Posix system() call is
   supported.
