Im using SVN revision 5061.  Here is one of my attempts..

/* Then I launch the executable on a remote machine.
 From DOS I get a "his program cannot be run in DOS mode." (Note the "T" is
missing)
 From Windows, it appears then disappears.
 TCPDUMP shows no packets, and I see no indications that the process is
running.
 I never receive a connection.
What am I doing wrong?  I tried binding a shell on a listening port, reverse
shell, vnc reverse and bind.  I cant get it to do anything. If tried it on
XP and 2000. If tried defining LPORT and EXITFUNC on my msfpayload call.
Thanks  */
