I dont think its related to shared vs static - rather two gc running concurrently. Try commenting out GC_init call in ecl and see what happens.

Do you need sigchld for anything? Run-program was rewritten and sigchld handling wasnt viable option anymore for it.

Im on phone, will be avail after the weekend.

Regards, D.
