OK, let me check the health of your vfork() function.
you can find attached in this e-mail a test program called vfork-test.c.
Usage:
#gcc vfork-test.c -o vfork-test
#./vfork-test
---
Please, send me the output (if it its ok, you will see nothing)
Note: Excecute the program a few times (because time() is not perfect)
