You can't reach into the parent's address space for "free", that's

To expand on this suggestion -- how are you communicating with the 
parent's variables on Unix?  If it's by using mmap to create a chunk 
of address space, this translates directly to global sections under 
VMS.  It's not automatic, but you could isolate the changes to a 
small part of your code.
