47  * vfork() on VMS implements strange deviations from the expected behavior.
48  * The child does not run correctly unless it calls exec*().
49  * The file descriptors are not separated from the parent.
50  *
51  * decc$set_child_standard_streams() allows to work around the most important
52  * problem of having no separate space for file descriptors if the code is
53  * prepared for the deviations.
54  *
55  * As VMS silently overwrites the "vfork" #definition from mconfig.h in
56  * unistd.h, we need to reset to the definition in mconfig.h for all programs
57  * that are not prepared for the deviations.
