Addresses issue #7625
Remove the usage of vmsplice from yes utility since it can cause errors.

I think this is what is being asked for. I've asked for confirmation on the original thread that this is indeed the request.

Are we not regressing in term of features with this PR ?

In the issue report the request was to remove the usage of vmsplice in yes. It seemed like people on the thread had agreed that this was the way to go.
If you think we should do otherwise then please add your thoughts to that thread. Thanks!

I think it would be a regression in terms of speed, but not in features. I just commented in that thread.
