The regression is technically in b914084007, but the real culprit is the extra (commented out) code path added in ee4512ed48 (trace2: create new combined trace facility, 2019-02-22). Your fix here looks good, but it does make me wonder if we could avoid or shrink this duplicate code path. I.e., could it just do the logging necessary but still leave the actual process spawn to the execv_dashed_external() below. It may be hard to untangle, though, so certainly this makes sense in the meantime. A test would be nice, but I don't think it's very feasible for the same reason mentioned in 46df6906f3. -Peff
