The attached code causes the child processes to hang on QNX. The hang is caused by the logging module trying to acquire the module lock while in an atfork() handler. In a system where semaphore state is kept in user mode and is thus inherited from the parent on fork() the semaphore may appear to have a value of 0, and thus will never be posted to in the single-threaded child.
I don't know how it works on other systems - may be pure chance.
