I remember seeing problems like this before, in a non-Harmony jre, where a
Runtime.exec() would never return. I hunted around and found an
interesting page
on JavaWorld:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html
I found the "Why Runtime.exec() hangs" section very useful, and it
solved my problem
at the time. I'm not saying that what you're seeing is definitely the
same thing that I encountered,
but it may help. I notice that in this test stdout and stderr for the
process are not read - is it
possible that it is producing some output, and since it isn't being read
the process just waits
leading to the exec never exiting?

Oliver

it seems that exec() doesn't work - it never returns. Bug in IBM j9 kernel
classes?
Mark Hindress is trying to duplcate to reconfirm.
