problem in "system()" in b18

The function "system" does not wait for the ending of command.
Example: file "foo.c":
main()
{
system("cat foo.c");
}
compile:
bash$ gcc foo.c
bash$ ./a.exe
I see the "bash" prompt before the dump of my file:
bash$ main()
{
system("cat foo.c");
}
Maybe there is a link with the bug in the release notes
about the fact that "gcc -pipe" was supposed not not work?
I saw in the faq.txt that "system()" now invokes "spawnvp()".
Is it a problem in spawnvp ?
Thank you.
