164	execv() doesn't stop the original program	guest	bird	"Programs compiled with GCC 3.3.5 (and linked against libc061 or libc062) fail to stop the original process when execv() (or _execv()) is used. Compiling and running the attached testcase using
   gcc -Zomf exec_test.c
works fine with GCC 3.2.2 (libc 0.5.1) in that always only one process of the name exec_test is running. Compiled with GCC 3.3.5 the process list grows with every call of execv() until about 150 processes are reached at which point some memory area runs out of space here and the process crashes (and all others with it).

This problem basically keeps me from producing a high-memory enabled version of Firefox and Thunderbird."	defect	closed	normal		libc	0.6.2	major	wontfix		mozilla@…
