Well, vfork() is about saving a bit of time compared to fork. So, if
there is anything necessary to make this work which is not entirely
trivial there is no need to use vfork at all since fork will work just
fine. I count locks certainly in the range of "nontrivial".
Anyhow, for ix86 the problems seems to be solved now.
