in thread lines written to stdout by a backtick command

AFAIK, It should not cause any problems on windows... I tried the same script on my XP Pro SP2 machine and works just fine. I am on AS 5.8.7.

On windows I couldn't get the shebangs to work well. If you have similar issues then you should change the open to  open (PIPE,"perl printsth $arg | ");
