Wow, that does make a big difference. The comment says that Emacs
hangs when evaluating:

(make-comint "test0" "/nodir/nofile" nil "")

But I can not reproduce that currently with vfork. I do not understand
the second comment: "Also, setsid is not allowed in the vfork child's
context as of Darwin 9/Mac OS X 10.5."

How might I test that?

I'm happy to run with a build that has this change for a while and see
how it goes.

Perhaps this is no longer an issue in current macOS? Are there any
version specific pragmas for osx?
