Unless you're on some system where execl() and execve() are unrelated, execl() calls execve() to do the work. Therefore, there should be no difference when the same program is launched by both calls. Are you sure that they are under the *exact* same configuration? One slight change could throw it off completely. --gile -- Can anyone provide a reason to put up with this maddness called UN!X?
