Three files to reproduce the problem has been attached.

   1. Rt2.java : a Java source code
   2. lha.exe : a Windows 16-bit application
   3. kobspin2.lzh : an input file to the application above

Exact steps to recreate the problem :

   1. Place the attached source code (Rt2.java) onto your
      x86-PC with Windows NT 4.0 operation system.

   2. Compile it with the javac and place the resulting byte
      code (Rt2.class) into one of your CLASSPATH directory.
command line: javac Rt2.java
                        copy Rt2.class <your-class-directory>

   3. Place the attached file lha.exe into c:\util
      directory, and kobspin2.lzh into c:\temp directory.

   4. Run the java application Rt2.
command line: java Rt2

      An exception should occur with the traceback exactly the
      same as that in my original bug report.

According to a Microsoft Win32 SDK document, error number 5 from
the CreateProcess API means "ACCESS_DENIED"
