A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When I run the code below with the command

the vm does not launch with notepad.

instead of the old Xdebug/Xrunjdwp.

Compile attached code and run with aformentioned command line
on Windows.

EXPECTED -
The VM should launch notepad.

This bug can be reproduced always.
