# C library -- vfork

# pid = vfork();
#
# r1 == 0 in parent process, r1 == 1 in child process.
# r0 == pid of child in parent, r0 == pid of parent in child.
#
# trickery here, due to keith sklower, uses ret to clear the stack,
# and then returns with a jump indirect, since only one person can return
# with a ret off this stack... we do the ret before we vfork!
