Bruce STEERS reported a new bug.

Summary
-------

using gambas3 --system-information with Shell/Exec broken in 3.17

Type             : Bug
Priority         : Medium
Gambas version   : Unknown
Product          : Unknown


Description
-----------

If I use the following code example......

Public Sub Button1_Click()

  Dim sVar As String
  Shell "gambas3 --system-information" Wait To sVar
  Print sVar
  File.Save(User.Home &/ "gambas-info.txt", sVar)

End

It prints nothing and saves nothing to a file?
This used to work okay (works okay in 3.16.90)

Now broken in 3.17.90
Respects
