On Solaris bi-arch I think you need only one jprochelper, not two, since a 32-bit helper can exec a 64-bit subprocess. This is a good point, it needs to know if the target program is 32-bit or 64-bit and chose the appropriate trampoline/helper. ?? I believe the architecture of the helper and the target program do not matter, since execv can cross architecture boundaries, so you only need one helper. Ah yes, in any case I think Rob will need a few tests to exercise these cases.
