After looking more closely at the output, I noticed the command ant was
trying to execute seemed to be truncated after a certain number of
characters
(notice the last commons-email-1.0.ja - missing a character and there
should have been additional jar files after that as well)
So I removed some un-necessary jars from the test-path and it is all
working again.

Subject: Process Fork Failed
Hi there,
I have successfully been using ant(1.6.5) to run a number of test suites
for months. I use the JAVA_HOME is set to the IBM JDK and ANT_HOME is
set,
All of a sudden I try and I see the following error and I have no idea
what has happened
C:\build\build.xml:562: Process fork failed.
The target I am trying to run looks like (it has not changed since I
created it).
<!-- This target runs the EJB JUNIT tests -->
<target name="test-ejb" description="Run the Junit test cases">
<echo>Running the EJB test suite</echo>
<!-- run the tests -->
<mkdir dir="logs"/>
<junit printsummary="withOutAndErr" fork="true"
haltonfailure="false" failureproperty="ejb.tests.failed"
showoutput="true">
<classpath>
<path refid="test-path" />
</classpath>
<jvmarg value="-Xmx256M" />
<formatter type="xml" />
<test name="${ejb.test.class}"
outfile="${log.dir}/${ejb-test-results.file}" />
</junit>
</target>
When I turn on the verbose flag in ant, I see the following
BUILD FAILED

Any ideas as to what may be happening would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
