If the shared memory is corrupted, the runtime reverts to a non-shared
setup.  This has the side effect of preventing process forking.

You can delete the shared memory files in ~/.wapi when this happens, but
it would be very useful if you could track down _why_ the corruption
occurred.  Running out of space might do it, but the sanity check looks
at the first few bytes.
