libc066 changed the way to find a default shell. If you set UNIXROOT,
libc066 find /bin/sh first.

To avoid, there are two ways.

First, unset UNIXROOT in your program.
Second, prepend "cmd /c " to your string.

If you think this is wrong, open a ticket for kLIBC. And see
http://trac.netlabs.org/libc/ticket/287 first.
