popen and thread intereference

[Guest_imported]

I've used popen() in some software I'm working on to see if this current multi-threaded project is already running. In itself it works fine. The problem comes when I start to kick off the threads. It never makes it past the first thread, with 6 left to go. If I take out the popen code it works fine.

Anyone have any idea if popen is known to affect multi-threaded programs. It's supposed to be multi-thread safe, but I'm not so sure...

Finally figured it out. All I had to do was fork() the process to detach it from the terminal. Works like a charm now
