That's exactly what I pointed out as a problem with not stopping at the
first dot for names in U:\proc. Just a heuristic that strips the common
GEM extensions would work, but of course it's sort of a workaround, and
not a real solution.

Of course, but if not, it would still be possible to use the path passed
to Pexec() as a "fallback".

IMO, it would be possible to offer both values via the
Fcntl()-interface, perhaps using a new opcode. Besides, having called
the existing one "PLOADINFO" is a bit misleading, at least I expect
something different from that name ;)
