The doc for std.process.shell says "If the process could not be started or exits with an error code, throws an exception."

However on OSX I'm having a different kind of behavior.
Isn't there a unittest to test this?

---
import std.process;
import std.stdio;

void main(){
	shell("asfasfasdfasdf");
	writeln("ok");
}
---
prints:

in dmd.2.061 - 2.059:
sh: asfasfasdfasdf: command not found
ok

in dmd.2.057:
sh: asfasfasdfasdf: command not found
std.exception.ErrnoException@std/stdio.d(418): Could not close pipe `asfasfasdfasdf' (Undefined error: 0)

The only unittest is unfortunately pretty bad:

unittest
{
    auto x = shell("echo wyda");
}

actually the new std.process pull request (http://forum.dlang.org/thread/k5uprq$obu$1@digitalmars.com) works well. I wonder when that'll get in master?
