You need to provide a sample program.  There is little useful
information in what you provide above.

Also, the only purpose for forking from a multithreaded process
is to exec() another program.  See the POSIX spec for more
information.  The only functions you can call from the child,
aside from the exec() family of functions, are async-signal-safe
functions.  The behavior when calling any other functions is
undefined according to POSIX.  libc_r, libpthread, and probably
to some extent libthr will have undefined behavior if used in
this manner.
