Feature #1482: Kernel.exec doesn't respect COMSPEC environment variable on Windows
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/1482

Author: Evgeniy Dolzhenko
Status: Feedback
Priority: Low
Assignee: Usaku NAKAMURA
Category: core
Target version: 2.0.0
ruby -v: ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i386-mswin32]


=begin
 Here is pretty convoluted test case:
 
 puts ENV["COMSPEC"] # => "C:\WINDOWS\system32\mycmd.exe"
 
 File.open("1.bat", "w") { |f| f.write("time") } # create test batch file with command which waits for user input
 
 Kernel.exec("1.bat") # now the process tree inspection shows that the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" is still used to interpret 1.bat
=end
