That seems crazy. The chdir should be happening on the child side of the fork (and looking at the code, it seems to be the case). And on the Windows side, without fork, it's an option to the spawn call, which makes sense. > For now the work around could be to just pass "-C <dir>" to the child > process instead of relying on run-command to chdir. Yeah, that would push it after the exec. I just don't understand why that would be necessary. -Peff
