Synopsis: 
dir attribute on <exec> not working

Description:
I tested this task in response to the recent post by Eoin Whelan with the subject "RE: Dir attribute of the execute task."

The dir attribute is ignored in the following exec task.

<exec dir="D:\Temp" executable="Cartman"/>

The error I get is:

D:\IT\Dev\Apps\TransView\build_test.xml:99: Execute failed: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: Cartman error=2
