[windows] Kernel's exec and system can't launch executables from current
directory
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-4329
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-4329
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Classes/Modules, Windows
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.4
Environment: Latest jruby on Windows
Reporter: Vladimir Sizikov
Assignee: Vladimir Sizikov
Fix For: JRuby 1.5
Windows differs in this regard from other OSes, and allows to execute the
programs from the current directory, without them being on PATH.
So, MRI follows this. JRuby, on the other hand, cannot launch such executables
and looks only on PATH.
Will fix.
