set_prolog_gc_thread(+Status)

Control whether or not atom and clause garbage collection are executed in a dedicated thread. The default is true. Values for Status are true, false and stop. The latter stops the gc thread but allows is to be recreated lazily. This is use by e.g., fork/1 to avoid forking a multi-threaded application. See also gc_thread.
