+* The popen and system do not run atfork handlers anymore (BZ#17490).
+ Although it is a possible POSIX violation, the POSIX rationale in
+ pthread_atfork documentation regarding atfork handlers is to handle
+ incosistent mutex state after fork call in multithread environment.
+ In both popen and system there is no direct access to user-defined mutexes.
