afair, forkProcess and -threaded shouldn't work together on any Unix.
can you try forkIO or forkOS instead?

Hi Bulat,

Both, forkIO and forkOS fail in the same way for me with -threaded. I believe this is because macosx requires the process to only have a single thread when doing an execv(), which I thought was the purpose of forkProcess?
