Subject: spawnproc woes

This is a first mailing for me to the FreeBSD lists.

We have used a routine called spawnproc.c from 1993 successfully for a
number of years using Solaris 5.5. We recently bought a new Sun CPU using
5.7 and have discovered that the execv command inside of spawnproc fails to
properly fork new processes.

Does anyone have any clues as to changes that may have been incorporated?
Workarounds?

Please respond personally to me as I have no idea what list to watch for
replies.

cheers,
-harold

Is the machine running FreeBSD? If it's running SunOS (or Solaris) then your
best bet is to contact Sun Microsystems as FreeBSD doesn't seem to have a
role in this equation. Sorry we couldn't be of more help, -- Jonathan
