Well, it seems to have /something/ to do with the fact that mintty is a
GUI app.  The original run.exe program doesn't have a problem with
mintty -- and run.exe has special code to (a) detect if a target is GUI,
and (b) use an alternate method to spawn the target if so.

run2 doesn't have that. I'll add it, and see if that helps.
