I have a DJGPP v1.11 program that calls a v2 program using the =
spawnlp() function. However, whenever it tries to spawn this particular =
program, I briefly get a segmentation violation message and execution is =
quickly restored to the calling program. However, when I replaced the =
spawnlp() function with a system() instead, now it works. Why the =
difference?
Yeah, yeah, I know, why I am I still using v1.11? The machine that =
I've been using for developing for someone else still has v1.11 on it, =
while my machine at home has v2.0, so when I'm over there I have to use =
v1.11.
I was just curious as to what was the fundamental difference between =
the two function calls that caused one to fail and the other to succeed.
