vfork(2) was listed as deprecated in 1994 (r1573) and was the false
reports of its impending demise were removed in 2009 (r199257).
However, in 1996 (r16117) system(3) was switched from vfork(2) to
fork(2) based partly on this. Switch back to vfork(2). This has a
dramatic effect in cases of extreme mmap use - such as excessive

popen(3) has used vfork(2) for a while. vfork(2) isn't going anywhere.
