This symptom indicates that the system built-in function is not working.
Try
perl -e 'print system("exit 1;"), "\n"'
If this reproduces the problem, you have something nothing to do
with databases to investigate. If it doesn't reproduce the problem,
it may be that Oracle is messing with the SIGCHLD signal.
Are you connecting directly to the database using the bequeather?
If so, try connecting via SQL*Net instead. If avoiding the bequeather
fixes the problem, try putting 'bequeath_detach = yes' in your
sqlnet.ora file. This should allow you to use the bequeather and
system at the same time.
