if test is a program which returns this french text:
libert?
?galit?
fraternit?

if you execute exec("test", $result, $status), you'll have:
$result[0] = libert
$result[1] = ?galit
$result[2] = fraternit

Works fine on my Linux system. exec() does try to chop trailing whitespace on
each of the lines, so perhaps the Solaris isspace() character interprets such
characters as spaces. You might try changing the locale setting to see if that
helps.

I'm assuming that's what it was and am closing this bug.
