ORCA system() command ... help!

[behrenss@Informatik.TU-Muenchen.DE (Soenke Behrens)]

Hail,

please, someone help me. The following code produces (after executing
the system() call) an error message "Could not find file:" from the
system. Very strange. 

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <strlib.h>

int
main (void)
{
  int result;
  char *it;

  it = strdup ("compile -E -P test.c  keep=test");
  result = system (it);
  return (result);
}

test.c does of course exist, strdup duplicates a string (and allocates
space for it via malloc). The same code w/o the strdup works (i.e. if
I chant 'result = system ("compile -E -P test.c  keep=test");').
Very, very strange ....

Soenke
