Summary: exec*() doesn't handle errors well

Initial Comment:
If an error occurs in exec*(), (such as bad parameters, 
etc.) exec*() returns to the caller.  exec*() is not 
supposed to return.  Throwing an exception would be a 
better way to handle errors.

I don't understand this report. I *do* get an error about
exec*() arguments.

Can you show an example of this bad behavior,  and indicate
what you'd like it to do instead?

If I don't get a response within a week, I'll close this bug
report as Invalid.
