+Summary: Process fails to run an executable if there is a dir with the same name
+
+Description of Problem:
+When Process looks for the executable, if there is a directory with the
+same name as the executable, it fails to find it.
+
+MS also fails!!!
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. compile the attached test case and run:
+mono ptest.exe mcs
+
+in a directory where there is a directory called 'mcs'.
+
+Actual Results:
+RC: 255
+
+Expected Results (on windows, the directory name should be 'mcs.exe'):
+Unhandled Exception: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Cannot find the
+specified file
+   at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithCreateProcess(ProcessStartInfo
+startInfo)
+   at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()
+
+Additional Information:
+Though MS runtime it also fails, it would be nice if we do the right thing,
+ie, ignore the directory.
