Yes, which requires the restrictions above else all hell breaks loose....
I think you still misunderstand the point of the spec: vfork() *can* be
fork(), but you have to follow the restrictions in case it's the hacky
ancient-VAX bug workaround Solaris and a few others use. I get the
impression that SUS disapproves of the hacky implementation, but still
considers it valid (presumably because it wouldn't do to exclude Sun from
SUS compliance).
