A little more investigation seems to indicate that the gencache.tdb error is actually not the issue. In fact, I removed the file (since it is not necessary for operation), and still got a core dump.
So it looks like the reinit_after_fork() is the real problem. But no clue why that would be happening. Any ideas?
