Runtime.exec() affects other threads?


Hi all,

here's the situtation:

1) JDK 1.4.2_02 & Tomcat 4.1.x (no difference with any 1.4.x)

2) Multiple threads (testing with 5) access non-sync methods in a single instance of a class
with ThreadLocals as appropriate (turns out using different instances
of the class sans ThreadLocal doesn't change anything)

3) One of the methods does a Runtime.exec() - when this happens,
only one or two (and only once, all five) threads were
able to execute and return normally. The other threads seem to
abort with no trace and are returned to the pool, if a thread
dump during a successful call by one of the threads to Runtime.exec()
(which takes time to complete) is any indication... and I don't see any
exceptions...
Making that method sync does not help.

I've read in other topics that Runtime.exec has buffer overflow
problems??? Any ideas?
