Subject: [ruby-talk:00339] Help :syscall

My syscall can only dump cores or produce 0 results.
But  that of  the extended module ,Perl produce correct results.
The config.h has  HAVE_SYSCALL enabled  alright.
I'm on HP-UX10.20.

eg.
irb(main):001:0> $$
14300
irb(main):002:0> syscall(20)
0
irb(main):003:0> Perl.new.eval("syscall(20)")
14300

Pros
