[win32] Runtime.exec(String[] cmdarray, String[] envp)

[Marco Trudel <mtrudel at gmx dot ch>]

Hello all

I use GCJ 4.2.0 (20060630) on linux and windows.
Runtime.exec(String[] cmdarray, String[] envp) doesn't set the 
environment on windows but it works on linux.

This can be reproduced with the attached files (both compiled to 
executables and CreateEnv calling PrintEnv).


Is this a known bug/problem? I didn't find anything on the gcc bugzilla 
and the only thing google pointed out was something from ranjit 
(http://www.advogato.org/person/rmathew/diary.html?start=97) what isn't 
a problem in this case... Shall I make a bug report?
Has anyone an idea for a workaround?

Sorry for posting to this list instead of directly making bugreports. I 
hope that someone who reads it has an idea while the [win32] bugreports 
will more or less be ignored because of the lack of windows maintainers...
