Run the command manually at a shell prompt. What happens? Here's what
happens for me on WinNT. In an error condition, say my password is
invalid, it retuns the error message then a blank line and then I'm back
at the prompt. So, if system() is true to the manual, that blank line is
the last line, so it's the one that gets put into the variable.
Put the returned string through ord() and see what you get. I'll bet it's
10, the ordinal number for a line break. Hmm... Maybe not... Out of
curiosity, I tested it on my system and it came back as 0 (a null string,
but not a null variable).
