I'm running the current versions of the tools and see that
if there is a long name directory in the path of the executable
then it just exits.  I saw nothing about this in the FAQ.
Is this well-known or do I have something wrong in my installation?

I am using the MKS shell.

Curiously, if I run the program under the debugger, it runs fine!

#include <stdio.h>
main() {  printf("this is foo\n");  }

wo|c:ntb: pwd
c:/_projects/marin/sta/engine/ntb
wo|c:ntb: ./foo.exe
wo|c:ntb:    ### no output

wo|c:ntb: cd /
wo|c:: mv _projects _proj
wo|c:: cd _proj/marin/sta/engine/ntb
./_proj/marin/sta/engine/ntb
wo|c:ntb: ./foo.exe
this is foo
