Environment handling "bug"
e ran across a rather odd problem. It's not a bug REALLY, but Ant
could do a slightly better job of handling it. For reasons unknown, on
one particular WinME machine (the only one in use in our system - the
others are Linux or Win2K), the environment looks something like this:
a=b
c=d
xxxxxxxxxx
e=f
g=h
i=j
When ant is run on this machine we get an exception that strongly
indicates it is because of this odd line in the environment (sorry, I
don't have the details handy, but I can get them if desired). It seems
like at the least, ant
could silently ignore the xxxx line and move on...

ok - if you update from CVS/nightly builds - it should be fixed ... I think ;)

Which version of ant is this ... IIRC I checked in a patch that *should*
fix this. (Namely when values of environment properties have a \n character
in them).
