      This is very easy to fix in the FORK and VFORK modes, and the fix would be easy to downport as well.

      The fix for FORK and VFORK is therefore be done separately from a later fix for POSIX_SPAWN. That will give us a way to handle this bug if it occurs, or we think it could occur: just tell the customer to switch to FORK mode.
