The output of go32-v2 suggests that you use DJGPP v2.0. If that is true,
please upgrade to v2.01. `system' in v2.0 has a known bug of losing
handles when you use a pipe or redirection symbols in the command. These
problems are all solved in v2.01 (where Make calls `system' to run the
job, so such problems will be visible long time ago).
