    Return exec errors correctly when spawning
    
    If an error happens when calling exec(), don't let the real errnum be
    overwritten by the babysitter's CHILD_EXIT status.
    
    Before, an exec error would show something like:
    Failed to execute program org.rossl.test: Success
    
    After:
    Failed to execute program org.rossl.test: No such file or directory

I think this is the same bug for which I have a patch waiting for review on Bug #24821. Does that patch work for you? Does it look sensible?
Comment 2 Ross Lagerwall 2014-10-21 19:20:16 UTC 
Yeah, your patch works for me. Both patches look sensible and similar enough.
