I have do a new test and I confirm this small problem, here part of 
source code

if(Pkill(client->Mint_ID,0)!=0) /* to know if software is alive */
{    long idapp; char fspec[50];

   /* if here the software doesn't exist */          

   sprintf(fspec,"U:\\PROC\\%s.%03d",client->app_name,client->Mint_ID);
   idapp=Fopen(fspec,2);
   if(idapp>0L)
   {
       printf("Error %s find\n",fspec); /* should never be here but it 
is! */
       Fclose(idapp);
       Cconin();
   }
}


In this case the error message is print on screen,  it should never be 
possible because the software have already quit
