@gallok, What is the output of 'uname -X'

date says that the century is optional.

date -t [[CC]YYMM....

that system was bought in 1998. Then in year 2000 the original manufacturer of the system (which now does not longer exists) has done something to make the system y2k compliant.

that was all long bevore my time. the system runned until 2009, then the hardware gived up and it was transformed into a vmware.

i tooked the work to my home, and then started it in an virtualbox. there it is running. On the virtualbox on the work the fork errors appeared.

working virtualbox (@home): version 4.2.2 r18
nonworking virtualbox (@work): 4.3.20 r96997
@work it should run on an vmware server 1.09, as it did since 2009

I think your system supplier made their application code y2k compliant.
Either way, I don't see any solution to your problem that does not involve upgrading the OS version.

@jgt uname -x says not found but uname -r says 3.2
It's a SCO openserver enterprise 5.0.2c (swconfig command)

the interesting part is that i do not see any applied patches when i look in scoadmin -> software manager -> software -> patch management -> view loaded patches i do not see any patchen (there are no patches loaded on the system)
