I tracked down the shell wildcard problem with my original patch and
also tidied things up a bit and fixed a couple of additional bugs I
ran into during testing. With this patch Kernel#system and
Kernel#backquote now pass all the rubicon tests.
One change I made that could have future repercussions is to
temporarily redirect stdout to a buffer (see line 815 in the patched
file) while executing a second ruby script in-process (this is
required since you need to capture the output of the script executed
via Kernel#backtick). This works fine for a single threaded script
but might cause problems if multiple threads start executing
additional scripts concurrently. There doesn't appear to be an easy
fix to this but as I'm new to the code I might have missed something.
