Thanks for trying a test case.  I am attaching a new test case that 
shows that the trouble was with execvp(), not exec().  Only execvp() 
calls find_exec() which fails to find a file in backslash notation,

  find_exec (path, buf, "PATH=", FE_NNF)

Another call to find_exec in spawnvpe() seems to succeed,

  find_exec (file, buf)

So, perhaps, another way to address the issue is to call find_exec()
without the 2 extra parameters.  I find it confusing that the 
function did not work despite its numerous options and its usage of 
isdrive() implying attempts to handle Windows native paths.
