vfork(2) is deprecated on macOS >= 12, so we need to use fork(2) instead to avoid deprecation warnings. (Should we use posix_spawn(2) where available?)

This is sad because fork is slow, but I don't have any better idea.

It's deprecated. Use fork(2) instead.

vfork(2) is deprecated on macOS 12, so we need to test on both.

Maybe #47 is preferable?

On recent versions of Macos, vfork is just aliased to fork. So I would welcome this PR to disable vfork on macos completely

Because I can't figure out how to run the CI without making a change.
