The NSPR implementation for starting processes only accepts char* so it won't work with international character sets. 

See:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/nsprpub/pr/include/prproces.h#98

It would be useful to have an implementation that accepts PRUnichar* arguments. 

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Doesn't work.
This patch converts the interface to accept Unicode arguments. It is Windows only at this stage. I plan to submit another patch with Unix support, but this shows the direction I am taking.

Unicode support for Windows processes

Thanks for the patch.

This patch doesn't modify any NSPR code.  If future versions of
this patch will modify NSPR code, please note that the function
prototypes declared in prproces.h are public and need to stay
the same for backward compatibility, so you'll need to add a new
function for Unicode support.

If future versions of this patch will not modify NSPR code, please
change the product of this bug to "Core" and the component to
"XPCOM".
Thanks for the patch, but we now have runw for this.

(Well, it doesn't fix NSPR though, so feel free to reopen if you have a patch for that.)
