-d produces the following output on OSX:

The process has forked and you cannot use this CoreFoundation functionality
safely. You MUST exec().
Break on
__THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___
YOU_MUST_EXEC__()
to debug.

After consultation with several others, this appears to be a bug in Leopard. 
Probably
the os.fork() call we are using is actually doing a vfork, which does not 
produce the
same results and leaves us in a state that we cannot really predict or detect 
and
therefore cannot deal with appropriately. Googling the error produces tons of 
reports
of various programs that work on OSX in various other circumstances, as well as 
BSD
and *nix, but not, sometimes, in Leopard.
