C<use vmsish 'status'> would preserve the complete 32-bit status on
return from system(), but it would not be shifted left by 8 bits as
the tests expect. We could then omit right shifting back by 8 before
comparing what we got with what we expected, but by that point we are
not really testing the same functionality at all.
