This is probably not an ECLiPSe bug but a problem with older Linux:

If the command exec'ed by exec/3 fails, the child process (vforked to
perform the exec) prints an error message on current_err_. This should
appear on the parent process' ECLiPSe error stream. With older i386_linux,
if the error stream is not a tty stream (e.g. if redirected to a file by
set_stream/2, or in tkeclipse), then this error message is lost. With newer
Linux (kernel 2.2.0+?), this message is printed correctly.
