I'm trying to upgrade to Gprolog 1.4, but my exec calls to a theorem prover
have stopped working.
In fact, every exec/5 call seems not to work, and causes wait/2 to throw an
error as the following 2 examples show:

=======================================================
The above exec of 'bash query_Simplify.sh simplifyFile.smp' worked fine
with Gprolog 1.3.
(and that command works from the command line).
Any suggestions how I can work around this problem?
I'm using the binary 64-bit Windows version of GProlog 1.4.0:
Windows intel 64 bits auto-install
setup<http://www.gprolog.org/setup-gprolog-1.4.0-mingw-x64.exe>(compiled
under x86_64 / Windows 7 with MinGW64 gcc under Cygwin).
This is under Windows 7 64-bit with an up-to-date Cygwin, and Mingw 64-bit
gcc installed (the gprolog and gplc commands work fine).
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 RWS034 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 10:10 i686 Cygwin
Thanks!
Mark
