shell error
>From allegra!psuvax!bear@Berkeley Sun Dec 27 18:21:59 1981
We are having a unusual problem with shell (sh). If a daemon (like UUXQT)
starts a program which executes
execl("/bin/sh", "sh", "-c", "who one two three four five six", 0);
two shells
sh -c who one two three four five six
sh -c who one two three four five six
will appear. the second goes cpu bound and must be killed. if instead
execl("/bin/sh", "sh", "-c", "who one two", 0);
is executed or csh is used. the result is as exepected. the command 'who'
is not importain. anyone have any ideas what is happening?
