That's what XaAES would do with my recent change (except the timeout). But  
what would TOS do? Does it set the directory of the called app to the  
directory where the called binary is before it launches it or not?

In hatari with GEM=ROM and TOS 1.04 and I get:

swcaller: current cwd: \swtest
swcaller: shel_find 'etc/*.bla': error
swcaller: path sent via shel_write():|C:\swtest\swcallee.prg
swcaller: current cwd: \swtest
swcaller: current cwd: \app (wanted:C:/app)
swcaller: shel_find '*.inf': error
swcaller: path sent via shel_write():|C:\swtest\swcallee.prg
swcaller: current cwd: \app

Here obviously swcallee does not run, so this does not help.

Without MiNT the program does not run at all.
