Instead of creating a new process (which for VMS means a separate entity
with thick walls all around), couldn't they "fake" a new process by
creating a thread disguised as a process ?

AKA: put some wrapper so that the thread behaves as a process from the
application's point of view, while remaining within the main VMS process
which makes access to IO structures much easier.
