problem in "system()" in b18

The function "system" does not wait for the ending of command.
Example: file "foo.c":
  main()
  {
    system("cat foo.c");
  }

compile:
  bash$ gcc foo.c
  bash$ ./a.exe
I see the "bash" prompt before the dump of my file:
  bash$ main()
  {
    system("cat foo.c");
  }

Maybe there is a link with the bug in the release notes
about the fact that "gcc -pipe" was supposed not not work?

I saw in the faq.txt that "system()" now invokes "spawnvp()".
Is it a problem in spawnvp ?

Thank you.
