The redirection of vfork to fork is there to solve a problem described
by the following comment in src/s/darwin.h (see also the archive of
emacs-pretest-bug).

/* The following solves the problem that Emacs hangs when evaluating
   (make-comint "test0" "/nodir/nofile" nil "") when /nodir/nofile
   does not exist.  */
#undef HAVE_WORKING_VFORK
#define vfork fork
#define DONT_REOPEN_PTY

I just tried removing these three lines and Emacs (in fact OS X!) still
hangs when evaluating that expression.
