<pre wrap="">The fork/execv also fails under the BOA in a more complex application -
I'm guessing following object activation (_obj_is_ready()). I'll try to
develop a simple test case to reproduce this, when I have time. At the
moment, however, I guess I need to focus on finding a workaround :-(.

This kind of problem is usually due to getting pthread things messed
up, causing the process to use non-thread-aware versions of fork and
exec. I can't be more specific than that, I'm afraid, other than to
say that forking and execing works fine for me.

Thanks for the input.<br>
<br>
BTW, what version / distro of Linux, and what kernel and glibc
versions, are you working with?<br>
<br>
If I recall correctly, RedHat has had several pthreads related problems
recently, notably in glibc; and they've done some work on threading in
newer kernels.<br>
<br>
So, the above info would be very helpful to me to try to reproduce a
test case that works :-).<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
