It's “not recommended” in the same way that using a knife to cut your meat is not recommended: you could hurt yourself. As you can see from that stackoverflow question, there can be problems if you don't call exec() right away in the child process after a fork(). Which GIMP does, avoiding the problems. This is why GIMP does not deadlock when you run a plugin. slave liam (ankh) -- Liam Quin - web slave for https://www.fromoldbooks.org/ with fabulous vintage art and fascinating texts to read.
