This test failed during the core-updates x86_64 build on Hydra.  We get:

  [166/183] SubprocessTest.InterruptChild
  *** Failure in src/subprocess_test.cc:83
  ExitInterrupted == subproc->Finish()

In the hopes that it might be a transient failure, I restarted the
build, but the second time it failed in the same place.  See:

  http://hydra.gnu.org/build/201077/nixlog/1/raw
  http://hydra.gnu.org/build/201077/nixlog/2/raw

It seems that using 'system' instead of 'system*' wasn't enough to make
it work reliably.  Can you take another look?

Thanks for your contributions!
