IPC multi-window C code

SDL Development

I’ve just discovered that the multi-window code I posted last week is not
compatible with SDL_INIT_TIMER (at least in Linux). If SDL timers are used,
the execv call goes out to lunch.

Sam, before I go slogging through the timer code, would you know off-hand why
this is so, and if there’s a simple way to deal with it?

I didn’t look closely at your code, but I can see how threaded programs
might not be able to call exec. :slight_smile:
