After fixing the ps_status problems, I cannot observe any problem, with
or without system.c.  However, I agree that it's a bad idea to propagate
that hack forward when it's no longer needed.  I've #ifdef'd out
system.c for OS X 10.3 and later.  (I was tempted to disable it on
10.2.* as well, but I can only prove system() works in 10.2.6, not
having older OS X handy to test.)

I'm not going to touch that at this point in the release cycle.  It'll
just have to wait for a future release.
