My question now is, must I convert an unknown number of utilities by
myself
or is there another new compiler switch that I haven't seen.
There are compile-system that just define "fork" as "vfork". This does
compile, but as there are cases when fork and vfork are not "workalike
enough", this sometimes results in nasty crashes at runtime, You need to
port these applications decently. Generally, when fork() is followed
_directly_ by an exec() call - to start a new program, you can usually
just replace it with vfork(). In all other cases you need to take
special care.
