The bug was in Gambas 3.0. Now, in Gambas 3.1, if you try to run a 
program that does not exist, you get an error.

Normally you should get that error message:

"Cannot run child process: cannot exec program: Resource temporarily 
unavailable in SysInfo:11"

I don't really understand why you get "Success" instead.
