Description Mike Boni 2002-02-14 17:37:00 UTC 
In the file org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Execute.java, the static initializer 
tries to pick a CommandLauncher based on System.gerProperty("os.name").

However, under Java 1.4 and Windows XP, the property "os.name" that is 
returned is "Windows XP", not "Windows 2000" or "Windows NT".  This results in 
a 16-bit CommandLauncher being used, rather than a 32-bit, and commands 
subsequently fail to execute properly (16-bit NTVDM error).

I first ran into this bug when trying to use <property environment="myenv" />
