time now.
For whatever reason, the kernel seems to have generated SIGIOs
previously without an initial fcntl(...,F_SETOWN), but does no longer.
This caused window(1) to wait indefinitely for input.
Also, undo rev 1.3 of wwspawn.c, it was not well-thought, and
apparently not even tested at all. The blindly (even in a nonsensical
place like the comment on top of the function) applied replacement of
vfork() by fork() totally ignored that window(1) *does* abuse the
feature of vfork() where a modification of the parent's address space
is possible (in this case, to notify the parent of an erred exec*).
Also, with vfork(), it is guaranteed that the parent is only woken up
after the exec*() happened, where the replacement by fork() made the
parent to almost always become runnable again before the child, in
which case the parent simply told `subprocess died'. Unfortunately,
working around _this_ seems to be a lot more of redesign work compared
to little gained value, so i think relying on the specifics of vfork()
is the simpler way.

While i was at it, don't export \E[OA style cursor key strings into the
TERMCAP variable since window's emulation doesn't support it. Instead,
convert to \E[[A etc.
