Fix system() exception showing regression

Rather than showing a backtrace that says "couldn't find command blah". Admittedly it's possible that the error will be something else, but unlikely. And this is neater.

Ideally we'd push the bt through an error pipe like we do with install.rb. And I guess we'll do this eventually.
