[Plash] fork: Function not implemented

[Thomas Leonard]

Hi all. Here's an interesting error:

$ pola-run -fw / -e test.sh
Hello
sendmsg: Broken pipe
sendmsg: Broken pipe
sendmsg: Broken pipe
sendmsg: Broken pipe
sendmsg: Broken pipe
sendmsg: Broken pipe
test.sh: fork: Function not implemented

test.sh is:

#! /bin/sh
i=0
teststring="ABCD"
while (test "X"`/bin/echo "X$teststring" 2>/dev/null` \
          = "XX$teststring") >/dev/null 2>&1 &&
           test $i != 17
do
 i=`expr $i + 1`
 teststring=$teststring$teststring
done
echo This fails under plash:
date

This is extracted from libwnck's configure script, which I was trying
to run from 0compile under plash. It's "checking the maximum length of
command line arguments". Changing the '17' to '9' lets it work.

Any ideas?
