The exec patch I sent cras did not capture stderr. Instead stderr
output was just printed to the terminal, thus messing it up.
The patch against recent CVS content
(src/fe-common/core/fe-core-commands.c 1.18) below captures stderr on
systems conforming POSIX.2 (shell stuff, GNU libc does as recent
solaris versions do). This might work on other libc's but I don't have any
at hand *g*
Best regards,
Sascha AKA Tinuk
