Your analyis is correct - on Windows, we us spawnvpe to start the custom
perl interpreter that actually runs your original program, so the
boot process stays around until the spawned process exits (on *nix we
use execvp which just "replaces" the boot process, so no problem there).
I don't have a Windows machine anymore, hence can't fix this. If you want
to try yourself, the code is in myldr/boot.c at the end (inside the
#ifdef WIN32 block). This is in plain C (but specific to Windows) and has
nothing to do with Perl.
Cheers, Roderich
