     Hmmm... The test that is failing is

is system("exit 1;"), 1<<8, 'system exit 1 should return 256';

     which should be okay, but I'm suddenly thinking: on some shells 
'exit' might not do what we would expect. Indeed, I just tried:

$ perl -E'say system "exit 1"'
-1

     And yet the tests usually pass on my machine. I have to look at 
that in more details...
