I have often seen problems with programs that work fine when run normally
but don't work when run with /detach. I think it has always turned out
to be the case that the detached process gets confused about what its
input, output, and error channels are.

I suspect if you did the RUN/DETACH and specified the input, output, and error
to be some file or NLA0: OR if you modified the program to pass the input and
output arguments to lib$spawn as NLA0:, it would probably work.
