Expected result: ---------------- On a different Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic system with PHP 5.2.10-2ubuntu6.4, the same code works fine, e.g. a_script.php is executed and the output is displayed. Actual result: -------------- The script specified in the system() call is not executed and no output is displayed, just the "Unable to fork" warning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51912&edit=1
