Greetings, A consensus appear to exist on the fact that the current forking emulation under Win32 sort of... how would I put this.. sucks. A thread on perlmonks a few days back pointed out that a number of behaviours of fork are not replicated exactly or at all (given that the emulation is using threads, there is a whole lot of things that stay shared and would actually be duplicated in a real fork...)
That may be the root of your problem. I surely never had any fork() luck on Win32.
You can't have everything: where would you put it?
