Hello all, I'm trying to use system calls in a test that uses Boost.Test. I've been trying to use Julio Merino Vidal's Boost.Process sandbox code (which I have working most of the time), but I've also tried the ::system() call too. The following super-simple test case causes the prepended error... The fact that I can't get this working makes me wonder if I'm doing something forbidden?
