Thanks. I suspect the critical severity is a pun (as in "breaks the
whole system() [call]"), but in case it isn't, please provide some
justification. Downgrading for now.

Niels already forwarded this upstream as
 https://github.com/pjf/autodie/issues/69

Please note that the bug is also present in the autodie version bundled
with Perl 5.22, currently in unstable and soon in testing, so I'm cloning
this bug and reassigning the clone.
