FG(pclose_ret) is not set correctly inside of exec() - i don't feel like getting into the streams right now to find it and i assume someone on the dev team has all of that fresh in their head and can probably find this problem quickly :) and it's obviously important since i'm sure many many people rely on exec()... -benjamin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17097&edit=1
