Hi

To simplifying the problem statement, when I try to run the default target
in the following build file:

---------------
<project name="test"  basedir="." default="test-target">

<target name="test-target">
        <exec executable="start"
          output="./testproj.log">
      <arg line=" cmd /c notepad"/>
        </exec>
</target>
</project>
---------------

I am getting same error.

cheers
