It may 'work' but it did not resolve the issue and may introduce 
unpredictable behavior in the future.

When Asterisk executes an AGI, it creates an environment that is fed to 
your program's STDIN. Asterisk expects that your program will read it.

Asterisk then expects to receive requests from your program via your 
program writing to it's STDOUT and expects your program will read the 
response via it's STDIN. This request/response cycle continues until your 
program exits.

If your program violates this protocol it is not an AGI and you should not 
expect stable behavior.

You have not resolved the issue that you cannot execute your program via 
system().
