This is my personal guess. If you could try it with a 2.4 image, that would
help enormously.
(I *believe* the 2.5 image & vm have some "conditional" support for new
socket prims. I'm not sure that PWS is fully cognizant of them.)

Quick point. "fork" is unnecessary, and, indeed, doesn't do anything.
But given that it *looks* like a problem with processes, you might try it
without forking and see what happens.
Also, try starting up PWS *after* initializeAll but *without* SwikiAction
setup. My guess is that you'll get the crash, but it'd be nice to confirm.
I strongly recommend working with an older PWS first!
Cheers,
Bijan.
