It's working fine using Tango on Snow Leopard but it doesn't work using 
D2 on Leopard or Snow.

Correction:
Of course, you shouldn't call thread_attachThis() for the parent thread. =
It's already been attached since the D runtime created it. (In fact, the =
documentation says: "If [thread_attachThis()] is called for a thread =
which is already registered, the result is undefined." My bad.)

I get the same error.

Fix:
The following code works allright on MacOS X 10.6.4 / DMD v2.047:


module fork;
import  core.sys.posix.unistd,
        core.thread, 		// added
        std.stdio;

void main()
{
    auto pid =3D fork();

    if( pid>  0 ) {
        thread_attachThis(); 	// added
        writeln( "Parent" );
    } else if( pid =3D=3D 0 ) {
        thread_attachThis();	 // added
        writeln( "Child" );
    } else {
        writeln( "Failed to fork!" );
    }
}



I'm completely new to D, so this is just me speculating: By using =
low-level posix threads I think you kind of sneak behind the back of the =
D runtime. You need to give it a chance to set things up for each =
thread. This is what thread_attachThis() does. (Please correct me if I'm =
wrong.)
