Well I do have an asterisk user, and once spent a weekend trying to run 
asterisk as asterisk user.

But I don't see what this has to do with my problem. The System() cmd 
works: I can see the log from fax2mail showing it was called, and called 
with the arguments I expected. So System() did it's thing.

What I can't figure what is why fax2mail really works from the command 
line, but fails to effectively call mime-construct when called from 
System().

I was hoping someone who has used mime-construct could show me how to 
debug it.

It may be a permissions problem, but since both run as root it seems 
unlikely. In any event, being able to debug mime-construct would allow 
me to figure it out.
