Thank you for your willingness to help.

Yes.

No, the -S is not necessary.  I removed the -S and recieved the same error.

DuplicateHandle works for me as well if compiled with gcc.  Only when it is compiled with "cl" (Microsoft's C compiler) do I have this problem.  As Gerrit Haase mentioned, the problem is possibly a quirk with cl.

Again, I only have the DuplicateHandle if the showProb.pl script is called from showProb.sh.  Otherwise, DuplicateHandle works when compiled with cl.

Thanks again for your assistance.  I appreciate it.

Nathan
