I got a hint lately about stuff working different on 64bit. If a 32 bit application is called from a 64 bit application the stack is 0xc000 lower than if the same 32 bit application is called by another 32 bit application. E. g., the first bash is spawned from 64 bit cmd.exe, its stack is shifted 0xc000. A CreateProcess call from fork will now create a child with the stack at another location which breaks the longjmp.
