Scott, (huh, thought I sent this early this morning but I guess I got
distracted and didn't finish ;)
As John says, you should be able to swap out some of the Mac OS X
tuned versions of things for more generic versions. I might suggest
the curl netaccessor (if you're using Xerces 3.0) instead of socket,
but either should be okay. Xerces 3.0 uses posix file routines, so
that shouldn't be a problem. I'd definitely configure in one of the
generic unix transcoders. In any event, with Xerces 3.0 you should be
able to configure yourself back to quite a posix-standard view of the
world, which should eliminate the problem.
Note, however, that fork(2) according to the man page places many
explicit caveats on things that may be unsafe following fork.

Hi Scott,
I think you've compiled Xerces-C using the Mac OS X native net
accessor. You should be able to configure it to run using the socket
net accessor instead, which means Xerces-C won't be using
CoreFoundation calls.

There appears to be a problem in Xerces when used inside of

forks, Apache being one such. Xerces is using CoreFoundation calls,
and
those can't be used with fork by itself.
On 10.5, you get this error:
"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_FUNCTIONALIT
Y___YOU_MUST_EXEC__() to debug."
Now, Apache's not changing. So I don't see any choice but to find
these
calls and replace them in the OS X port. Either that or I guess my
code
won't run under Apache until I change parsers anyway.
Do any Mac maintainers know anything about the feasibility or
extent of the
changes?
