The external command could not be executed due to an application error. [error]

and only after applying attached patch im am able to debug what happens (in my case sweaver freaks out).

daring to set major as quite some issues in the queue smell like they can be smashed with this.

but in the end i think we should fix this one level deeper: #1547432: drush_invoke_process() should default to integrate errors
which would obsolete this patch.

Just applied this patch and everything now works as expected. Instead of just telling me there was an error I can see what the error is that is preventing execution (in my case a PHP fatal in a module).

It would have taken a lot more detective work on my end to figure the reason behind the failure without the patch.

#drush updatedb
The following updates are pending:

However, I still managed to finish all the updated with usual update.php in browser without any warnings.

Drush does not support php-cgi.
