New submission from Thomas Heller:

In a windows debug build, an assertion is triggered when os.execvpe is
called with an empty argument list:

self.assertRaises(OSError, os.execvpe, 'no such app-', [], None)

The same problem is present in the trunk version.
Attached is a patch that fixes this, with a test.
