Apologies, I forgot to mention the dependency on:

Hi folks,

I'd like to backport this change to JDK7. Note: this fix uses posix_spawn by default on Mac OSX only. On Solaris fork will remain the default behaviour.

I've just noticed that there is a problem with the testcase on Solaris in that it will test fork twice. (and won't test posix_spawn) I'll figure out a way around this, but in the mean time I'd like to get the ball rolling on this review anyway.
