Using which compiler and version?
Running your program from the command line or
from within an IDE?

Assuming that you get this error when you run from outside
the IDE (just your program resident), you may not have
enough memory for both your program and the shelled program. 
If so, consider using a swapping spawn replacement such as
SPAWNO from Ralf Brown. Get it here:
