[R] system call removes special characters from text output

[stephen sefick]

Hi Jeff,

My apologies for not providing enough information. The perl code works as
expected at the shell (without calling it from R). I have tried the system
call inside of an ESS R session and at a the shell. Both of these produce
the unexpected result. I can provide whatever information that is needed.
kindest regards,

Stephen
