That brackets the problem a bit.

Given the odd failure ("crashed on child side of fork pre-exec" with a 
segfault) I suspect it is something specific to the platform, e.g. 
compiler version, shared library versions, etc. and I'm experimenting 
with rebuilding it in different ways to  see if I can find a way to make 
it work.

Currently running with '-X' as a workaround (doesn't fork...)
