And linux? It has changed to vfork right?

So OSX has changed, linux has changed, but Solaris remains as-is. All 
platforms allow selecting the mechanism via the property 
jdk.lang.Process.launchMechanism

The only change is OSX where the default switches from fork to 
posix_spawn. No change to the default on Solaris or Linux.
