Message6587

Hello.  I hope this is the correct place to report this.  

Like the subject says, I ran into some strange behaviour.  The attached code reproduces this.  Since it is creating a child java process, it assumes some things, such as that jython.jar is in the current directory, as are the Parent / Child class files.

If I run that code on my Vista machine, it exits normally.  If I run it on my Windows Server 2003 VM, the child process never exits.

Attaching to the hung process with a debugger reveals that the main thread is hung in the stack below. 

I would test it on more machines but I don't have the time right now.
