vfork -> fork. The child calls execl() which calls malloc(), so
vfork() can't be used. We could use alloca() in execl() so that it can be called between vfork() and execve(), but a "portable" popen() shouldn't depend on this. Calling execle() instead of execl() should be fairly safe, since execle() is supposed to be callable from signal handlers and signal handlers can't call malloc(). However, execle() is broken.
