Just realized I didnt reply all either.  Here was my reply.

@Carlos: I havent changed anything... because I figured that I was doing
something wrong instead of thinking that meterpreter had a bug. I am still
getting used to developing for metasploit...

@egypt: I figured thats what you meant. And I was looking at the C client.
I will do some poking around in the REX libraries then. But I was on a
POSIX (linux) client with a windows exe payload.
