No if I create the connection after fork() it works all right.
As long as I connect to the database only from one thread
or (which is kind of strange) if the child dies later than the
parent ! (Not sure about real thread-safetyness, but at least it
doesn't crash.)
I even tried to connect via DBD::ODBC from one thread and DBD::ADO
from the other. Crashes.

Well I'm afraid not. I don't have perl compiled for debuging (yet)
etc. etc. I'm even not sure what exactly should I do to generate the
backtrace :-(
I don't have mysql to check if this is a windows or DBD::ODBC
problem. I tried the script with DBD::ADO and it doesn't crash.
Just for the sake of difference it hangs.
I tried to close the database connection and undef $dbh before I
fork(), but that doesn't make any difference. Still crashes/hangs :-(
