That is not correct. |posix_spawn()| just has a tiny glitch which may hurt you under rare conditions (the ksh93-interation list has more details (the archive is offline right now but I can provide the links once it's online again) ; in general ksh93 is affected but still works with the "buggy" |posix_spawn()| under normal conditions). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
