The only thing that happens during an 'execve' that comes to mind is that it kills all threads but the current one. And I do see this happening on the trace output.
But I guess this should make no difference (unless it seems it does).
It could, if 1) with Linux "clone" threads, the file lock is a property of only the thread that acquired the lock, and 2) the thread that survives execve is not that one. Donn
