you haven't said which compiler you're uisng. This appeared to work on my 
vc-7_1 less than an hour ago.
I note the following:
from a cvs log of execnt.c:
----------------------------
revision 1.18
date: 2005/05/27 18:32:23; author: david_abrahams; state: Exp; lines: +6 -1
Workaround for vc6 preprocessor bug.
----------------------------
revision 1.17
date: 2005/05/27 17:06:30; author: david_abrahams; state: Exp; lines: 
+128 -128
Finally, a real fix for the spawn problem, I hope.
