Hi Monks!
I'm facing a strange bug. Please consider the following code: 
print("Before setting command: $path\n");
$cmd = "ldd $path";
print("Before running command\n");
($stdout, $stderr, $exit_status) = capture { system($cmd); };
print("After running command\n");

The output: 
Before setting command: /proc/self/fd/1
Before running command

[download]
And it gets stuck. It continues running only after I click Ctrl+C. Then it will resume and continue running my script. The output looks like: 
Before setting command: /proc/self/fd/1
Before running command
^CAfter running command

Note the ^C. Any other path works well.
Now the strange part. If I run ldd /proc/self/fd/1 in the command line - it does not get stuck and it works (just prints: ldd: /proc/self/fd/1: not regular file). And also, if I change the code to be: 
print("Before setting command: $path\n");
$cmd = "$LDD $path";
print("Before running command\n");
$stdout = `$cmd`;
#($stdout, $stderr, $exit_status) = capture { system($cmd); };
print("After running command\n");

Then I get: 
Before setting command: /proc/self/fd/1
Before running command
ldd: /proc/self/fd/1: not regular file
After running command

Which makes me believe that Capture::Tiny getting stuck on this path.
Why does it happen? How should it be handled? If I could check if the path is dynamic, then I could just ignore this path. The question is, could it happen on other paths as well?
