[MiNT] Dangerous assumption in MINT lib

Hi Andreas!

OK.
Am I right that the child is not allowed to exit the procedure in which
vfork() is called?
An example:

void bear(void)
{
if (vfork() == 0)
    {
    do_something;
    }
}

Is the child allowed to exit the procedure bear()?
Or has do_something to terminate the child (by _exit() or execve())?

Bye
