The child-process gem fails to spawn processes on Windows #4122
Description
Environment
jruby version: jruby 9.1.3.0 (2.3.1) 2016-08-29 a2a3b29 Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.66-b18 on 1.8.0_66-b18 +jit [mswin32-x86_64]
OS: Windows 10
childprocess version: 0.5.9
Expected Behavior
Running:
gem 'childprocess'
require 'childprocess'
cp = ChildProcess.new('notepad.exe')
cp.start # errors... should spawn a new process. This works on jruby 9.1.2.0
Actual Behavior
This exception is raised:
ChildProcess::Error: Unknown error (Windows says "The operation completed successfully.", but it did not.)

I noticed that issue #2598 has an identical error message.
