That is because you are running the command twice.
system runs the command but does not give me access to parse the output.
popen4 runs the command too but also gives me access to its output.

system creates a subshell to run the program in, and that appears to  
work.  popen creates a subprocess, and that appears to be the  
difference that is causing your particular program to fail.

As I said, I'm investigating the subprocess module which appears to be  
a more flexible replacement for system and popen*
