The HotSpot 1.3fcs-P, internal (12/02) fails on win32 when it is called from java program
by the runtime.exec(command, environment[]) method, where command is
java -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunb4289109 b4289109

But when the same command is executed as cshell command line, the HotSpot
works perfectly.

The HotSpot failure depends on the total length of the environment strings array,
which is passed as a parameter to the runtime.exec() method.
For example, if this length equals 511 the HotSpot runs the b4289109 class
perfectly, but if this length equals 512 the HotSpot fails.

To reproduce the bug run doit.bat in GammaBase/Bugs/<this bug number>.
The doit.bat file contains the variables which must be tuned :

The JDK_TO_RUN_TEST variable defines JDK to compile the java-files
of the test and execute runtime_exec_test class.
The TESTED_JAVA variable defines the java to call by runtime.exec() method
in the runtime_exec_test.
The ENVIRONMENT_SIZE variable defines overall length of the environment strings
to pass to the runtime.exec() method.

The test fails under the HotSpot 1.3fcs-P on win32 with ENVIRONMENT_SIZE=512.
The test fails under the HotSpot 2.0rc1 on win32 with ENVIRONMENT_SIZE=512.

The test passes under the HotSpot 1.3fcs-P on win32 with ENVIRONMENT_SIZE=511.
The test passes under the Classic VMP on win32 with ENVIRONMENT_SIZE=512, 511.
The test passes under the The HotSparc 1.3-Q on Solaris with ENVIRONMENT_SIZE=512, 511.

(use doit.sh to test on Solaris)
