--- Comment #19 from Benjamin Takacs <[email protected]> ---
(In reply to Martijn Dekker from comment #17)
POSIX requires  system(command);  to behave *as if*  sh -c -- command  was
called, for safety, because POSIX requires sh to handle options after -c.

I think the better design would be to only allow -c as last argument to sh, as
the SYNOPSIS in our man page says too, that would eliminate all bugs where
command could potentially start with -, without requiring everyone to write -c
-- or have a bug in waiting.
