yes, unfortunately, the forking screws up RKWard. We already have a bug report 
about this: 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2866476&group_id=50231&atid=459007
 
. To fix this we will need to re-design the R backend to run in a separate 
process. This will happen, eventually, as it will hopefully fix a number of 
further obscure bugs besides this one (esp. those with loading some Java or 
Gtk packages), but this is not trivial, and unlikely to happen, soon.

Workaround to allow using RKWard during development of the code:
   options("mc.cores"=1)

Thomas
