Time for a consolidation check.  ;-}

Things may be different in other consolidations, but within ON, it is
not generally acceptable just to "work around" problems found in the
system.

The project team must (1) file a bug (or bugs) on the problems
encountered with posix_spawn and (2) be ready to explain why fixing
the problem or being dependent on the fix is not desirable.

Though we all have our separate projects to work on, within ON we are
collectively responsible for the quality and consistency of the code.
