Version: 2.0.6-0.2
popen() returns non NULL value even if command is not found.
This means all data send to such pipe will be discarded.
Also it seems pipe opened with popen () is not closed on
exit, i.e. shell's prompt comes before program's output, unlike
the case when pclose() is invoked explicitly.
