Hi Martin, Your email is hardly readable, because 1. it is a HTML email, 2. when viewing it as plain text - which is the only secure way to read mail [1] - the cited text is not indented. Please configure your mailer for plain-text mail [2], if you want to continue to write to mailing lists. And indent or otherwise mark cited text.

No one claimed that _spawnvp() is returning a pid. > intptr_t ret = _spawnvp( _P_NOWAIT, argv[2], args ); > DWORD pid = GetProcessId( (HANDLE)ret ); > printf( "ret: %d pid: %d\n", (int)ret, (int)pid ); What does this program print? And this program proves nothing, because you cast away the upper 32 bits of 'ret' before printing.
