According to The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD, vfork(2) was implemented to 4.2BSD which was released 1984. So, it's peculiar to say it's appeared in 3.0BSD which was released 1979. NetBSD and OpenBSD's vfork.2 said it's appeared in 2.9BSD. It's reasonable. >How-To-Repeat: man 2 vfork >Fix: NetBSD and OpenBSD have already fixed this. Please import their fixes. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
