#299 tests/posix/system.icn test fails on Ubuntu x64 - ampersand trouble

[Art Eschenlauer]

When I compile tests/posix/system.icn with the latest svn checkout on Ubuntu, I get the message:

can't open foo.out for reading
Indeed "x' is compiled and runs properly, but the output ends up in a file named '1' rather than 'foo.out'.
So, redirection seems to be an issue, specifically the ampersand.

When I used 'icont' from Icon version 9.5.1 to translate the program, it worked as expected.

When I replace

   system("icont x.icn > foo.out 2>&1")

with

   system("icont x.icn > foo.out")

and translate with unicon, the program performed as expected.

Do you still get the error?
