Since this change might be reasonable for x86_64 platforms only, is there a way to recognize such a platform from the 
Python level (sys.platform etc)? I would like to make this
change dependant on the platform.

Ok, my fix is to edit;
/opt/Zope-2.7/lib/python/zdaemon/zdctl.py

and insert;
flag = os.P_NOWAIT
as line 214.

(after the if self.options.daemon: test)

Were you able to fix this problem meanwhile?

Note, although all seems to run "Ok", I do get this when starting in background mode ...

Ok, you're going to love this, I've managed to 'fix' the problem (and I kid you not, this solution works).

initgroups.c - insert one line in initgroups_initgroups
>        char *username;
>        gid_t gid;
                                                                                                                                                       +        printf("Debug Fix:: running initgroups\n");
                                                                                                                                                       
I now have RC2/PloneRC4 running on a Fedora Core x86_64 system. (ASUS SK8N/Opteron 1.8G)

Zope SEGV's at line 382 in modsupport.c

ZEO seems to run Ok.

Other Python apps seem fine.
Install is "basic", same Zope tar src file runs fine on i386 system.
