I removed this line from my config file and it is working normally now.

--pager="sh -c 'col -bx | bat -l man -p'"

Yes, this is calling bat recursively otherwise - which leads to the fork error.

Note that we suggest to use this as a value for MANPAGER, not PAGER: https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#man
