Title:
Crashes on Ruby exec
Status in unity-2d package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
While debugging an old Ruby script for determing the Internet
connection status (online vs offline), I found that running exec from
Ruby would crash Unity.
Steps to reproduce:
1. wget
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mcandre/mcandre/95350df18b982f455d49eca739f2e1ee42da75f4/ruby/webshout.rb
2. emacs
3. M-x shell
4. ruby webshout.rb
In particular, it seems that the line:
exec 'say You are now online.'
(which I've since corrected to use system instead of exec)
Attempts to replace the ruby process for webshout.rb with a GNUStep
say process. But something messes up, and Unity crashes.
System:
$ specs ruby emacs unity os
