Interesting. Is anyone having this problem on non-Windows?

from childprocess.

I reverted back to 0.3.9 and did NOT have any issues

from childprocess.

I know what change is causing the issue. It should work well with 0.4.0 and below.

from childprocess.

Back to 0.4.0 on 4 windows computer no more problem.

I tried with 0.4.2 on OSX 10.9, it is working well.

➜ ~ gem list | grep selenium
selenium-webdriver (2.39.0)
➜ ~ gem list | grep childprocess
childprocess (0.4.2)
➜ ~ irb

This should be fixed in the 0.5.0 release, which I just pushed.
