Modified files:
usr.bin/mail popen.c
Log:
vfork -> fork. This home made popen() had the same bug as the library
popen(), but worse. The child calls execvp(), which calls malloc()
a bit more than execl(), and it calls non-library functions that call
malloc() and who-knows-what else (stdio is called in at least some
error cases).
