Subject: Manx exec bug with 1.3???

I have noticed that a simple program that calls Execute() will compile
fine but not work correctly under Kickstart/Workbench 1.3.  The offending
program follows: (compiled with 32bit library)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <libraries/dosextens.h>

main()
{
int success;

success = Execute("dir", 0L, 0L );
if( success == 0 )
     printf( "Error : %ld\n", IoErr() );
}

I have tried full path name in the Execute() and stuff like that.  The
error it returns is 205, I believe this is a "channel not available"
error, anyone know whats wrong?? (other than the libraries being broken?)
Please ignore any spelling errors etc.
