Re: Patch: FYI: PR 7570 and PR 7578

There was a second patch which fix the problem that allocate the 
c string
for the directory before forking could you try that one may be use that
one instead of the one you applied.  I think this is a problem 
because (according to posix)
Consequently, to avoid errors, the child process may only 
execute async-signal-safe operations until such time as one of 
the exec functions is called, I think memory allocating is not 
async-signal-safe.


Thanks,
