Summary: [popen] 1st outlet doesn't work in Windows Vista

Initial Comment:
In windows vista (only platform I tested on), when you send a message to 
[popen], the output from the first outlet has an unpredictable behaviour.

Here's some of the things that happen (same test gives different results if 
repeated):

1) The expected output, i.e. the output generated by the command in the 
"shell", one symbol ber line
2) "sending <message>" where <message> is a verbatim copy of the message you 
have input
3) "sending <message><junk>" where <junk> is either a random sequence of 
unreadable characters, or a random slice of some previously input message
4) When the output of the command is mulltiline (e.g. "dir") you sometimes get 
only the first N lines (correctly output as multiple symbol messages, but not 
all the messages that the command actually produces in the shell, e.g. in the 
case of "dir" not the complete list of files)

These are the cases I've been able to observe.

By the way by "expected behaviour" I mean what I guess is the expected 
behaviour, as the help-patch totally lacks a description of what the external 
does.
