Backend + HDHR not functional on Mac OS X Leopard

Description
I tried running a mythtv 0.21 backend on Leopard 10.5.2 (Intel), configured to talk to an HDHR. This configuration works fine under Fedora 8, but I wanted to try to migrate it to my Mac which has more storage and a faster CPU to handle the comm flagging better.
The backend starts fine, and seems to be operating, but then dies as soon as it is time to start recording. The log contains many entries of the form:
The process has forked and you cannot use this CoreFoundation? functionality safely. You MUST exec(). Break on THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY_YOU_MUST_EXEC() to debug.
Please let me know what other information I can provide to assist.

I haven't done any 10.5 testing yet, but initial research indicates this is caused by 10.5 garbage collection, and a delay between the fork() and exec():

I'm assuming it is a bug in Mac OS X's daemon() call, but I do not have the motivation to track that down. I might just put a runtime call to check the OS rev or GC status.

I'm beginning to wonder if --daemon ever worked on OS X.

Replying to nigel:
And on 10.4:
Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) ... I'm beginning to wonder if --daemon ever worked on OS X.
I'm running .21-fixes on 10.4.11 (Intel). I've hacked up a launchd script that starts the backend with: /Applications/AudioVisualMusic/Myth/MythBackend?.app/Contents/MacOS/MythBackend -d -l /usr/local/wctlog/MythBackend.log -p /private/var/run/mythbackend.pid
Works for me!

Through some experimentation, I determined that these errors do not happen if you do not start the backend with the --daemon flag. The backend appears to be working now, after some preliminary testing.
