The above is not correct, I erred in my testing.

I am able to reproduce the issue when replacing false.exe in the test 
case with a custom false.exe compiled with Cygwin gcc.

I am *not* able to reproduce the issue when replacing it with one 
compiled with MinGW gcc (32-bit or 64-bit) or with MSVC (32-bit or 64-bit).
