Hi Sven,

thanks a lot for addressing this issue by sending your patch. Although I'm not 
too happy about the chosen approach. Changing the default behaviour and adding 
a new command line option seems not to be the best solution. Do you think we 
can put this exec call into batman itself and thus hiding this ulibc thread 
disaster ?

Regards,
Marek
