/* Execute a program, possibly setting up pipes to programs executed
   via other calls to this function.

   This version of the function uses vfork.  In general vfork is
   similar to setjmp/longmp, in that any variable which is modified by
   the child process has an indeterminate value in the parent process.
   We follow a safe approach here by not modifying any variables at
   all in the child process (with the possible exception of variables
   modified by xstrerror if exec fails, but this is unlikely to be
   detectable).

   We work a little bit harder to avoid gcc warnings.  gcc will warn
   about any automatic variable which is live at the time of the
   vfork, which is non-volatile, and which is either set more than
   once or is an argument to the function.  This warning isn't quite
   right, since what we really care about is whether the variable is
   live at the time of the vfork and set afterward by the child
   process, but gcc only checks whether the variable is set more than
   once.  To avoid this warning, we ensure that any variable which is
   live at the time of the vfork (i.e., used after the vfork) is set
   exactly once and is not an argument, or is marked volatile.  */
