             Summary: prunsrv writes gigabytes of null bytes to stderr
                 Key: DAEMON-443
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-443
             Project: Commons Daemon
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Ryan Ernst


When trying to start a non-existent service, procrun will write an enormous amount of null bytes to stderr. Since these are not printable, the problem is not normally seen in a terminal. However, if a wrapper script is used that captures stdout/stderr, the output file is over 8 GB.

Reproducing is quite simple:

{{prunsrv.exe //ES/my-dummy-service 2> test.err}}

The file test.err then has 8589934985 bytes. The printable characters are only a few lines of warn/error log messages.
