or, it will be once I get some karma in /TSRM ...

This occurs because popen_ex executes the command using the comspec
('cmd.exe'), which will always create a valid process--but intended
actual child process fails.

I'm patching this so that it skips using cmd.exe--there is really no
reason this should be here, if this introduces other problems (which I
can't see what they could possibly be), then those should be fixed
appropriately.

Patched in all branches (5.2.11-dev, 5.3.1-dev and trunk)

After some delay...

If've just test this with PHP 5.3.0 and mail() still returns TRUE, even
if PHP can't find the sendmail binary or the sendmail binary returns an
errorlevel != 0.

Pierre, this is the real issue, sendmail_path is not checked or
something?
