Actually, ANSI C requires that there exists a function system() in the
library. system(NULL) should return whether it does something useful
on the platform. system(Arbitrary_String) is implementation
defined. So my first guess would be that on the Macintosh, system
systematically returns an error, which is a completely conformant
implementation.
