I'd be interested in the output of a "set" command (and even better yet,
a memory dump of the environment block).  It appears the stub somehow
interprets "COMSPEC=A:\COMMAND.COM" as part of the path.  Does COMSPEC 
appear directly after the path?  If not, I don't see how this could
come from the stub.
