Bug: doesn't play well with sudo (infinite forking?)

What happened?

Many/all executables from https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/bin/ freeze when run with sudo on macos. E.g.:

sudo ./echo hello

While it is frozen and I run some other commands in a different terminal window, I rather quickly start getting fork errors, e.g.:

bash: fork: retry: Try again
bash: fork: retry: Try again

The way to recover is to ^C the sudo command. I once couldn't do this (don't recall why) and since I couldn't run ps, kill, etc., (and lack skills to find other ways), was forced to reboot.
