Comment (by cal@…):
On OS X, you cannot call non-async-safe functions in a process `fork(2)`ed
from a child process before calling `execve(2)`. This looks like some
post-fork-phtread callback code that calls stuff it shouldn't call. A
valid solution for this kind of problem is to replace the `fork(2)` and
`execve(2)` combination with `posix_spawn(2)`.
Please make sure upstream is aware of this problem.
For further reference, for example:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2013-11/msg00083.html.
Googling for "*** multi-threaded process forked ***" also gets you lots of
similar hits.
