Comment (by zhu527812567@…):

 I encountered this problem when I was using OS X 10.7.5 (~Oct. 13)

 I found that something in fork_exec_with_pipes()@glib2 is not allowed.
 Comment #8 indicates the possible offender is g_malloc.
 I tried to revert these new versions but old versions (1 month ago) did
 not work. I remembered that I updated my xcode. What about gcc provided by
 macports? Not work. gcc-apple-4.2 was also used but still not work.

 Thus I tried to implement something using posix_spawn but that syscall
 paniced my kernel.
 After consulting some Apple SAs, I believed it was CVE-2013-3954 and fixed
 in 10.9. I decided to update my system entirely. After the upgrade I
 reinstalled these ports and the problem still exists. On the other hand,
 posix_spawn does not panic. Thus for 10.9 and above posix_spawn things may
 be an incomplete alternative.

 It seems that we'd better report this issue to upstream glib. This issue
 seems
 similar to ours: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738620 .

 Thanks.
