Have you tried creating a reasonably small test-case that provokes the
error?

IIRC, Roland said that the sequence of messages corresponded to a fork
immediately followed by another fork by the child. Perhaps something
simple like

  #include <unistd.h>
  int main(int argc, char **argv)
  {
    if (!fork()) fork();
    _exit(0);
  }

or

  #include <unistd.h>
  int main(int argc, char **argv)
  {
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < 47; i++)
      if (fork()) break;
    _exit(0);
  }

also crashes?
