I suspect strongly there aren't.

One of the biggest problems you have to contend with is around mutexes (and the like) and their state. If you copy them, we double-book an external-resource (like storage or something), and if you don't we almost certainly deadlock.

Another is any thread waiting on a resource (like reading a file descriptor) or writing to the disk (do you write twice?) and so on.
