mon.start is probably using this execl:

#ifdef __W98__
#include <process.h>
#define execl(fullpath,path,name,bg,link,nul)                   \
do {                                                            \
        spawnl(_P_DETACH,fullpath,path,name,"-",link,nul);      \
        return 0;                                               \
} while (0)
#endif /* __W98__ */

-> G_execl() ?
