>Description:
Calls to __vfork14 causes a complete system hang: no keyboard response, no cursor flashing etc.
This includes old binaries that call system() (which calls vfork).

>How-To-Repeat:
Build and install a new libc. Try to read a manual page.

>Fix:
Comment out __RENAME(__vfork14) in the vfork declaration in unistd.h before building libc.
