This simple program shows exactly what I mean. Works on i386, dumps
core (of ls) on vax:

main()
{
        int i, sta;

        if ((i = fork()) == 0) { /* Child */
                char *arg[2] = { "ls", 0};

                exect("/bin/ls", arg, 0);
                printf("sket sej\n");
        } else {
                wait(&sta);
                printf("Ute\n");
        }
}

Main question:
Why doesn't it dump core on i386?
