Hi Valeriy,

Maybe I did it wrong. I just looked at the FreeBSD sources. They do have netbsd
syscall compatibility for lstat, fstat and stat, but not for vfork14. Somehow
the lint which does a vfork() referenced vfor14() [a nosys for FreeBSD] and
coredumped and so I thought there was something wrong in the distribution.

Anyway I will try it again though I can't get to it for at least a week.

Thanks for the info.

Regards,
Srini.
