It's extremely unlikely to be made nonfunctional. Linux backwards compatibility is excellent. Besides, if vfork() is nonfunctional we'll need to change the Linux default -- not just provide an alternative -- so this patch will be inadequate. All this patch does is provide an alternative to experiment with. -- Andrew Haley Java Platform Lead Engineer Red Hat UK Ltd. <https://www.redhat.com> EAC8 43EB D3EF DB98 CC77 2FAD A5CD 6035 332F A671
