Re: popen() fails while system() works

thanks, rebaseall makes it working - for a while ;-)

after reviewing my code i found a real big memory allocation:

    char* line = new char[std::string().max_size()];

which allocates 1073741820 in my case! well this is really much more
memory that i need for a single line read from another process using
popen()! changing this to a more reasonable size makes everything work,
even without rebaseall!

but what's the real reason why popen() results in the address
conflict and system() does not?!
