Has anyone detected a problem with system() under DOS 4.0?  I have a client
running and unknown flavor of DOS 4.0 on a Micronics motherboard.  A program
makes a call to system() with a valid command line, but system() returns
a failure status.  There is sufficient memory, disk, COMMAND.COM, etc.
I cannot duplicate the problem on my DOS 4.0 or DOS 3.3.
