What version of the operating system are you working on?  This problem sounds
familiar.  If I recall, the problem has something to do with memory allocations
in the SR5 space that prevent the process data space from being copied to the
child during a fork() call.  I think this problem was fixed, does it still
occur on the 5.0 push?  If it still happens on 5.0 push, you may have a new
problem.
