Description Philippe Normand 2011-09-01 05:26:23 PDT
Seems like calling exec() with shell like stderr/stdout redirections and "&" is wrong.

CC Gustavo as he wrote the original code
Comment 3 Philippe Normand 2011-09-01 05:58:56 PDT
The symptom being:

run-gtk-tests
let it run

ps aux |grep Xvfb
phil     21096  3.0  0.1  63968 11340 pts/0    S    14:57   0:00 Xvfb :31 -screen 0 800x600x24 -nolisten tcp

The Xvfb process is not killed. Seems related to exec and file handles somehow, but I lack the perl-fu to debug this further.
