I just checked it and indeed the fork detection code used to help only
against other threads forking but not againts plain forks without
execs.  I have changed this and added fork detection to
gcry_create_nonce too.  Added regression tests for these two cases.

Please checkout

  svn://cvs.gnupg.org/libgcrypt/branches/LIBGCRYPT-1-2-BRANCH

this should fix the problem.  If it is okay for you; I can do a new
release today.


Salam-Shalom,
