Ok... why is that (that it can't fork safely)?

I invoke hgtk from a program with all paths absolutized (except hgtk 
itself, which is just in the PATH). So maybe it would work for me? What 
could I do otherwise, if the --fork option is not a good idea in general 
(apart from keeping it in my own patch queue)?
