second try: [PATCH] finishing spawn / vfork signal inheritance


If someone with CVS access would commit this, I would appreciate it.
Currently, spawn() and vfork() do not pass signal handler settings
on to the child process, and this breaks ksh93.  This patch fixes
the problem (in conjunction with a change cgf already committed).
