I think the phrasing in the article is misleading, because we're not seeing exec() *return*, which is a different issue than the case that they are talking about, namely the subsequent waitFor() not returning. So I think this doesn't apply. Interesting reading, though. geir --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
