Nil exitstatus

Ruby
1

Hi,

With the following code (1.9.3-p125) I very occasionally find that
@exitCode is nil…

Open3.popen3(@environment, @command, options) do |stdin, stdout,

stderr, wait_thr|
…
@exitCode = wait_thr.value.exitstatus
End

Does anyone know how I should interpret this? Dare I interpret it as
success (ie equivalent to 0)? Or is it most probably just a bug?

Cheers,
James

signal?
