Details

On Linux, I can run ipcshell in a debugger just fine. But if I'm not in a debugger: * the child process exits almost immediately * the parent process hangs in mozilla::ipc::GeckoChildProcessHost::SyncLaunch
FWIW, this was on Linux... haven't tried Windows.
OS: Windows NT → Linux

I'm not entirely sure what ipcshell was, but it seems to have ceased existing as a separate executable in 2009, about 2 weeks after this bug was filed.
