This code:

    
    if (attach == true)
      init();
    else
      {
        File exe = new File(command[0]);
        if (exe.exists())
          Manager.host.requestCreateAttachedProc(command, new CatchObserver());
        else
          {
            System.err.println("fcatch: can't find executable!");
            System.exit(1);
          }
      }

has a race - the executable could be removed between the exe.exists() call and
the requestCreateAttatchedProc call.

The code should instead handle the exec failure in the attatched observer.
