I have a program (test.hs):

> module Main (main) where
> import System.Exit
> main :: IO ExitCode
> main = do
>    return (ExitFailure 1)


In another program, I invoke it via 'system':

>    exitCode <- system ".\\test.exe"
>    case (exitCode) of
>       ExitFailure failCnt -> do
>          putStrLn $ "-- Fail count is: " ++ show failCnt
>          exitFailure
>       ExitSuccess -> do
>          putStrLn $ "-- OK."
>          exitSuccess


but it always gets ExitSuccess (not ExitFailure failCnt as I expected).
(I am running under Windows.)

My other use of system (such as with ghc commands) works okay,
sometimes getting success, sometimes failure, as expected.

Any suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks,
