I had the exact same problem, so I wrote a replacement for 'system'.

The unit-testing is here (look here for how to use it :-)
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/metaeditor/experiments/cpp_embed_ruby/test/output/testall.rb?rev=1.15&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

'system' is working perfect. But there is still some problems with 'fork'.
