For me it works as expected, never got argc=5. Perhaps you're using a very old HXRT?

These are the binaries and sources that I used:https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/Testcases/blob/main/test2.zip

Note that for the DOS binaries I used spawn-hx.obj - this was formerly spawn386.obj ( created from a modified spawn386.asm ), contained in hxow.lib.
