Yes, but I am wondering if man vfork should clarify what "child terminates"
actually means. I mean, the child can do clone(CLONE_THREAD) + sys_exit(),
this will wake the parent thread up before the child process exits or execs.

I see nothing wrong, but I was always curious whether it was designed this
way on purpose or not.
