This should not be the case. The script is:

        if [ -f "$DEFAULTFILE" ]; then
            . "$DEFAULTFILE"
        fi

        if [ "x$NEED_STATD" != xno ]; then
                exec rpc.statd -L $STATDOPTS
        fi

These are all shell builtins (by design) until rpc.statd execs. So the first fork is within rpc.statd.
