this a part of C code which uses the system(3s) command and
acts very strangely :

printf("command=%s\n",command);
system(command);

It must be noted that the main function uses argv, argc en env
variables.

When I execute the program, I get the following messages:
% a.out paramter1 parameter2
command=/usr/local/infotel/prog.sh
kw: is not an identifier
%

?? I don't understand what it happens, the command string is ok, but
seems to be not passed correctly to system...? I searched everywhere
the 'kw' pattern, it can be found in argv (char *argv[])...

the same code worked perfectly on HP-UX.

Strangely, system(3s) isn't in the permuted index of the ATT documen-
tation even if it can be found in 3s chapter.. ?
