Martin,
I had done something similar with clone & exec for Linux, but hadn't got
round to testing it.
So, it seems reasonable to take yours. Do you want to send me your
updated versions of
process_md.c and the test? I can take care of the merge with the Solaris
code.
Thanks,
Michael.

I've been working on clone+exec.
I now have a perhaps-ready-for-prime-time implementation
that appears to fix the problem on Linux
and also includes some new tests for script invocation

This change conflicts with Michael's changes for Solaris.
We'll have to work something out.
My changes are designed to have no effect on Solaris,
but I have done zero testing there.

I have a prototype implementation that works only for Linux,
only when the environment is inherited,
but seems to show that the clone/fork approach works.
The main idea is that passing these flags:
CLONE_VM | SIGCHLD
to clone() appears to work.
Passing CLONE_VFORK in addition also seems to work,
and may be more reliable.
Michael, we will need to coordinate to come up with
something that will work for all our Unices.
