[perl #72930] failed system() doesn't set $?

What kind of system would be able to replicate this problem? Linux seems
to just kill off the process when it runs out of available memory. This
ticket seems like it would be easy to fix, but I don't want to fiddle
around with this sort of thing without being able to tell if it is
actually fixed.
