The fork() emulation on Win32 is very spotty at best. Most likely, you are accessing some https:// URLs or maybe the interaction with filehandles doesn't work out the way you wish.

You can try to move to threads on Win32, as there is active work on the threads while the fork emulation has been left as is for a long time already. Maybe you can also use some other IPC scheme to push interaction and/or memory access into the children (emulated threads) and out of the "main" program. Maybe instead of handling/modifying references and "shared" structures into the main program in the children create copies of these and handle them in the children.
