Hi Jay, I figured out my issue.
The command I was invoking externally created a file. Although I was operating on a file in /tmp (and therefore expected the external tool to create its output there), all of the outputs of the process executed through "system" were created in "htdocs." So, I was looking for output files in all the wrong places. Parameterizing current-directory solved my confusion. Many thanks. I wondered if things might be dying silently for reasons that might be more subtle, and your answer moved me forward.
