Sandbox Violation on Runtime Exec

In the light of this, I wonder if this behaviour should be filed as a
bug. There is currently no (Java only) way to create a child process
if the parent is executed inside a sandbox, any call to
Runtime.getRuntime().exec() or ProcessBuilder start() will fail.
I think the OpenJDK on OSX should use either posix_spawn or NSTask.


Best,
Marco
