  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).
