The problem is that the wrapper script relies on some environment variables, but when gzip is called from dmtcp, all of the environment variables are gone. i.e. when I try to create a checkpoint, dmtcp calls gzip, which then fails due to undefined environment variables and the checkpoint hangs. It's as if gzip was invoked like this: env -i /path/to/gzip\r\n\r\nWhy do the env vars get wiped during the gzip call, and is there anything way to fix this?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/dmtcp/dmtcp/issues/comments/216579570","html_url":"https://github.com/dmtcp/dmtcp/issues/370#issuecomment-216579570","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/dmtcp/dmtcp/issues/370","id":216579570,"user":{"login":"MrPrezident","id":2295306,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2295306?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrPrezident","html_url":"https://github.com/MrPrezident","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrPrezident/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrPrezident/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrPrezident/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrPrezident/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrPrezident/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrPrezident/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrPrezident/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrPrezident/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrPrezident/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-05-03T16:10:21Z","updated_at":"2016-05-03T16:10:21Z","body":"Thanks @rohgarg!
