The vfork() change is only in head right now. I would have to MFC it to
stable/9 first. Also, it depends on SHELLPROC removal (i.e. starting
executable scripts without #! in a new instance of /bin/sh instead of a
forked copy of the current shell) which is in stable/9 but not stable/8.

I think it is not appropriate to MFC these changes right before the
freeze. It may be interesting for stable/9 though.
