Will fork() in iOS app likely be rejected by Apple's vetting process?

I'm writing a mechanism (in an iOS app) to detect whether a device is jailbroken by checking for App sandbox's integrity by doing a fork();. Does anyone know if attempting this call would violate App Store guidelines?

fork() (and other) will not get you rejected; operations that are denied by the vanilla os cannot be reproduced while in submission. I have applications on the appstore that use fork() and system() calls to check for jailbreak environment and none of them got rejected for this :)
