Subject: Ruby BUG when using PStore and fork

PStore does not appear to play well with fork.  This script 

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'pstore'
store = PStore.new("/tmp/pstore")
store.transaction do
  fork do
    store.abort
  end
  Process.wait
  exit
end

 ... results in: 

../pstore_fork_bug.rb:7: [BUG] Unknown longjmp status 7
ruby 1.6.7 (2002-03-01) [i586-linux]

The motivation for doing this is a little GUI applicaiton I wrote that
keeps URLs in a PStore archive and forks a browser when I click a
button.  The forked process maintains a lock on the PStore archive,
which is annoying, so I tried to get it to release its lock and hit
this bug message.
