Don't return but _exit after failed exec*() and fork()
Quoting POSIX[0]: "Care should be taken, also, to call _exit() rather than exit() if exec cannot be used, since exit() flushes and closes standard I/O channels, thereby damaging the parent process' standard I/O data structures. (Even with fork(), it is wrong to call exit(), since buffered data would then be flushed twice.)" [0]: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/vfork.html
