# When MachTen does a fork(), it immediately copies the whole of

select the default answer: vfork() works, and avoids expensive data
copying.
+You may also see "WHOA THERE!!!" messages concerning \$d_endspent,

+incomplete, and should not be used.

At the end of Configure, you will see a harmless message
Hmm...You had some extra variables I don't know about...I'll try to keep 'em.
