After applying this patch, calls to the system function don't seem to
return a zero exit status, even when I'm pretty sure that the command
must be returning zero.  For example, I see

  octave:1> system ("ls")
  [...]
  ans =  11

and

  octave:1> system ("/bin/bash -c 'exit 0'")
  ans =  11

Is anyone else seeing this problem?  Is there a simple fix?  If not,
I'll have to remove this patch for the upcoming snapshot.
