We're getting a load of messages of the form:

Break on __THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__ () to debug.
The process has forked and you cannot use this CoreFoundation functionality safely. You MUST exec().


from a thirdparty library we're using. The trouble is, when run under gdb, the messages go away, and my breakpoint isn't hit. How can I debug this and find out what's being called?

You can try to use DTrace:

sudo dtrace -n 'pid$target:: __THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__ :entry {ustack();}' -c "/path/to/program arg1 arg2 ..."

(Note that this will run your program as root. To avoid that, remove the -c <cmd> option and replace it with -p <pid>, which requires that your program already be running but has not yet hit the problem you're trying to diagnose.)

Cheers,
Ken
