I'm not sure if this applies on your platform/OS, but what I did this on z/OS (mainframe operating system) and had to specify environment variable BPX_SPAWN=false, or something like that. What that does is force it to run the executable in its own address space versus a task within the address space. There's only so much addressable memory within an address space. On z/OS, that also gave it some independence from the creating process. Is Runtime.exec more appropriate, since you wanted independence?
