How can I verify this bug on real Windows if it requires me to launch a Unix
executable? :-)

The point is that system() and spawnl(P_WAIT, "...") should work independent of
what executable I give, for example this waits:

  system ("c:\\msys\\1.0\\bin\\cat.exe z:\\etc\\passwd");

and this doesn't:

  system ("z:\\bin\\cat.exe z:\\etc\\passwd");

BTW I think the affected component is actually wineserver but I'm not sure.
