a plain old C command-line app (a basic sanity check done since "man
execle" doesn't even allow that ENOTSUP can happen), it works exactly
as I'd expect.
That shouldn't happen. What does the call look like?
So... something about running as a Cocoa app makes
this not work? Is there something extra I need to do to make it work
from my Cocoa app?
There shouldn't be. The one thing worth considering is that a Cocoa
program's working directory and $PATH may not be what you expect them
to be - cwd is usually / and $PATH is something really minimal.
