Only if you don't use the argument "Block => False".  But you would of
course have to be patient enough to give the child process time enough
to complete its attempt to load the new program.

Remember that even if you successfully verify that the program is
available before you call Start_Process_Search, you can't be sure that
it still is available once you actually call Start_Process_Search.
