The fix for 6850720: (process) Use clone(CLONE_VM), not fork, on Linux to avoid swap exhaustion didn't quite work on linux-x86_64, perhaps because of bugs in glibc.
We changed the default back to fork() in
6853336: (process) disable or remove clone-exec feature (6850720)
vfork appears to be more reliable.
