OSX 10.8.2 build from source "fork" problem

I installed Octave via macports do take care of any dependencies.

I then got the most current source via Hg and proceeded into the build
process.
hg clone http://www.octave.org/hg/octave

I got qt4-mac from macports. I manually downloaded and installed the latest
versions of qscintilla, Gfortran, sed, bison, gawk, and readline. I used the
hacks here:
https://mailman.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/help-octave/2012-March/050811.html to
get readline to work. I want to say that I had to find a hack for qscintilla
too but I don't have it anymore. I also manually downloaded and installed
the latest SuiteSparse which now had a handy dandy installer for Macs. I
used the hack here:
http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/SuiteSparse-problems-td4631934.html to
get Octave to read SuiteSparse. I think that covers everything that I
installed.

I was able to successfully perform:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-shared
make
With no warnings or errors.

However, as soon as I run make check or ./run-octave I get:
The process has forked and you cannot use this CoreFoundation functionality
safely. You MUST exec().
Break on
__THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__()
to debug.

If I use --no-gui, then everything works fine. However, the point of me
doing all of this manual installation was to use the GUI. I've spent all day
getting to this point and I've finally gotten to a point that my Google Fu
has failed me.
