Bug ID: 17490
Summary: popen should not invoke atfork handlers
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: stdio
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: luto at mit dot edu
I don't know whether calling atfork handlers from popen violates POSIX, but
it's annoying and causes popen to be unsafe in conjunction with various
libraries when it should be perfectly safe.
It would also be much faster if it used vfork or appropriate clone flags on
Linux.
