I've seen problems that change depending on CK_FORK.

Lets look at this. When you run "normally", the tests get run as a forked 
process. This means that they are not impacted by other tests. That isn't the 
case with CK_FORK="no".

Perhaps what is happening is that some other test(s) are performing 
initialisation that helps your test pass?
