What is EXECSHELL in your mutt? If nobody has patched this, it should
be /bin/sh. And your execl() seems to fail because this is missing.
Does /bin/sh exist, and is it executable?
I think you should try first with an unpatched mutt, there are 'some'
people using it, and you are the first complaining about such
problems.
