re: __vfork14()
-- was this an optimization, with code working pretty much as before,
but gaining speed from not doing a bunch of unneeded Copy-on-Write
setup?
it was clearly an optimisation. i'm sure this or some other
list has benchmark results for this, back from then.
-- are there programs in-tree which depend on the shared address space
semantics?
one hopes not :-) infact, /bin/sh does not use it currently
because of this. see the several attempts to fix it that have
been backed out :-)
-- are there common third-party apps which do?
i don't know, but again, i hope not.
-- what do other systems do?
don't know.
