Hi folks,
I'd like to backport this change to JDK7. Note: this fix uses
posix_spawn by default on Mac OSX only. On Solaris fork will remain the
default behaviour.
I've just noticed that there is a problem with the testcase on Solaris
in that it will test fork twice. (and won't test posix_spawn) I'll
figure out a way around this, but in the mean time I'd like to get the
ball rolling on this review anyway.
