I got a note from Dave Moore, the author of ProcessMonitor (PM).  He said
that PM *should* be able to connect to an app started from the command-line...
and he is right!!  Thanx again Dave.

It turns out that I was su'd over to another user at the time I launched
the app, and *that* is why PM couldn't connect to it.  I have verified
that as long as the *same* user (i.e. same euid) launches PM and a given
app (no matter how each was launched) then there is no problem!
