  29.      _pppp_cccc_rrrr_eeee_aaaa_tttt_eeee in all its forms creates a new process and runs the requested
  30.      program.  These routines are equivalent to a _ffff_oooo_rrrr_kkkk(2) and _eeee_xxxx_eeee_cccc(2) pair
  31.      except that the caller incurs only a small logical swap space penalty
  32.      compared to _ffff_oooo_rrrr_kkkk.  _pppp_cccc_rrrr_eeee_aaaa_tttt_eeee (using _ssss_pppp_rrrr_oooo_cccc(2)) requires that the calling
  33.      process have enough virtual space left (see _ssss_eeee_tttt_rrrr_llll_iiii_mmmm_iiii_tttt(2)) to create a
  34.      temporary 32K stack for the new process.  This new stack also requires
  35.      system logical swap space.  A _ffff_oooo_rrrr_kkkk on the other hand duplicates the
  36.      calling process, which requires the system to reserve logical swap space
  37.      for all modifiable portions of the calling process.  A very large process
  38.      may not be allowed to _ffff_oooo_rrrr_kkkk due to insufficient backing store (swap area).
