There's a particularly annoying tcsh bug (race condition?) that appeared
in SunOS 4, where pipelined jobs randomly hang

It has been suggested that compiling with -Dvfork=fork makes the problem
less common, but doesn't fix the real problem.
As since this code is doubtlessly really nasty, I don't relish the task
facing me. So, Has anyone already fixed it?
