This code is used 99.99% on Jython (as the fdist/dfdist code and
genepop parser, BTW). I happen to test on Linux.
I will fire my Windows machine and have a look, but I do not have it
at hand. This will have to wait a few hours or a couple of days at
most)

I cannot test this here, but I am 99% sure that the problem is the
executable name (case sensitive on Windows and Mac, maybe even on
Windows Jython?). If it is compiled with a capital S (seen happening)
it might be a problem.

Were they failing on Jython? I do have a reasonable amount of users on
my applications (jython based)...
