634149 - Cannot perform agent exec with "" for env string

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 634691

(Testing :: General, defect)

Description

[cmtalbert]

= Steps =
1. Telnet to a device running FenCP24, Agent24, Ffx24 and Watcher, with fennec installed.
1.5 kill org.mozilla.fennec #for good measure
2. exec "" org.mozilla.fennec
3. ps # note there is no fennec running
4. exec '"" org.mozilla.fennec'
5. ps # note there is no fennec running
6. exec org.mozilla.fennec
7. ps # Ahoy! A fennec is running, kill it.
8. exec "foo=1" org.mozilla.fennec
9. ps # Ahoy a fennec is running!

= Expected =
You should be able to start fennec with an empty env string, i.e. exec "" org.mozilla.fennec should work.

= Actual =
Somewhere, somehow this got regressed and we can't run that way.

this just ended up getting fixed in the patch set for bug 634691 as it was a small set of changes at the same time.
