Oops, didn't see this thread migrated to a different subject.
This is definately the vfork bug..  Configure under
Solaris finds a vfork function, but the function it finds is either
not compatible or broken.

Again, the fix is to make a define in config.h (or just activate
the one already there) to macro vfork to fork.
