That was my first guess as well. But it seems that the JRE defaults to using vfork though, which should not have this problem... right?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_%28system_call%29#Vfork http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u/jdk/file/4645fadf8352/src/solaris/classes/java/lang/UNIXProcess.java.linux#l100 Of course a different JRE -- vendor or version -- may implement this differently, so switching to a different one, or finding out how to configure this, may be a possible solution.
