Linux has vfork(), the behavior is undefined if you modify any process

As it is in BSD as well.
Sorry to be confusing. I know Linux has the vfork() API, but it isn't
emphasized to developers like it is in BSD. Instead, they tend to
emphasize their variable-weight forking technology. So people don't
have vfork() on their minds as much.
