Calling spawn* to execute an unstubbed coff file causes an invalid instruction fault (under Windows 3.11). When a stubified version of the binary is present, everything works fine, but if only the coff file is present, Windows reports an invalid instruction.
This could be implemented using the v2load subroutine from the debugging library, but we would need to move it into libc and clean up the namespace. Another kludgy fix would be to get the V2 "go32" issues resolved and use that to activate the program.
V2 now includes a go32-v2 binary that can be renamed to "go32" for those few cases that assume go32 can run an unstubbed binary.
