[gpgme] fork() problem

Hi Marcus,

thanks for your response.
I'm already about to get crazy debugging this. ;-)

Only before I use gpgme. Initially the server process forks to daemonize when 
starting up. After that it creates multiple threads but doesn't fork anymore 
for any purpose. These threads use gpgme occasionally. So as far as I 
understand the situation the only forks happening should be under gpgme's 
control.

Greetings...

Stephan
