That code was under a !HAVE_WORKING_FORK ifdef so it wasn't being
built... I reproduced the build failure on Linux with ./configure
ac_cv_func_fork_works=no instead.

I also think we should get rid of FOPEN_{READ,WRITE}_BINARY and put
these defines in lib/system.h instead of src/local.h.git.

I'll send you an updated patch with that.

Yeah in that case they should probably be separate patches. I'll send
you a sequence you can grab with "git am". I'm almost done testing
them, so expect them shortly.
