 correction: the reason for that was that my test case had "cmd /k
echo test" not "cmd /c echo test".

 so i needed to type "exit" return.

 so, we conclude that the child process creation code using msvcrt is
fine but with msvcr80 is buggered.  i've found a test example (KB
Q190351) which does a reaaasonable job - reading from the console of
the child doesn't work.

so the code from Q190351 would be a _good_ one to use.

or write a test case based on Modules/posixmodule.c.
