Follow-up Comment #2, bug #29525 (project gnustep):
I think this is a faulty test ... I've changed it to run programs we created
instead of mem.exe
I *think* the issue is that mem.exe is an old 16bit DOS program, and NSTask
would need to refrain from setting the CREATE_NO_WINDOW flag (because 16 bit
programs need a window to be created for them).
The problem is, if we create a window then it can get unpredictably displayed
(we've had bug reports about that in the past) for unknown (to me at least)
reasons .... messing up the display. Probably not supporting 16bit apps is
the lesser of two evils, the current code is correct, and the test was wrong.
