   Could someone please explain the following section of code from GNU
   time-1.7?   What is the purpose of the `fork()' call when the command
   to be timed is later run by the `execvp' procedure?  Won't the rusage
   structure get updated just as well without the fork()?

Someone has to print them afterwards.
