--- Comment #10 from Jameson <vtjnash at gmail dot com> ---
Sorry to ping an old issue, but I was noticing the documentation appears to
explicitly state the old behavior
(https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/posix_spawn.3.html#ERRORS), in
contradiction to this change and the updated opengroups standard at the link in
the original issue or at https://linux.die.net/man/3/posix_spawn. Is this text
now incorrect:

ERRORS
       The posix_spawn() and posix_spawnp() functions fail only in the case
where the underlying fork(2) or vfork(2) call fails;  in these cases, these 
functions
       return an error number, which will be one of the errors described for
fork(2) or vfork(2).
