Subject: execl problem

hallo everybody,



The folowing little program shows my problem with execl

(I've found something about execl in mail archive, but it's not clear enough).



m1.c:



#include <stdio.h>

#include <process.h>



int main(int argc, char *argv[])

  {

  printf("hallo world!\n");

  execl("m1.exe","m1.exe",NULL);

  return 0;

  }



This program should never stop (and it does when compiled with Borland TC),

when I compile it with gcc from djgpp v2 :

gcc -o m1 m1.c

and run it :

m1.exe

I get :



hallo world!

hallo world!

hallo world!

hallo world!

hallo world!

hallo world!

hallo world!
