hi Katherine,

sorry for reacting so late --o sweet holidays--, and maybe you already
solved your puzzle (my provider had a disk crash :(((, so i might have missed
some replays)

please keep in mind that              ^ this is a pointer to a null string,
whereas an environment is an array of char pointers ended with a null pointer.
atleast that is how i understand it. so in my view what happens is that pexec
in trying to copy this `meant to be empty environment' goes on until it comes
across the nill-pointer that you didn't put there. so actually you are lucky
that MiNT is more picky in these things then Magic :)

hope this is true, so it might be of any help
