Sorry for the wording, "non-existent" would have been better. The thing is I'm not able to access the objects if they are stored in a list in the parent, eg (setq *Objs (collect ... )), if I then do (show (car *Objs)) in the child process I get NIL.
However if I directly store the object, (setq *Obj (db ... )) I am able to (show *Obj) in the child and the data shows.
