Again this is using PMODE/DJ and it's after the spawned program is returning
(program was spawned after shutting down Allegro).

My test app (only calling spawnl) had this

 // spawn process with the command line
    int nRet;
    nRet =  spawnl(P_WAIT, process_name, process_name, filename,
                                        autorun_string, NULL);

The full application (using Allegro's gui routines) called the spawnl the same
way only preceded
by allegro_exit().  The test app returned fine, and the one with Allegro
returned with the above.
