util.system: avoid buffering of subprocess output when it is piped

util.system() copies subprocess' output through pipe if output file is not
stdout.  Because a file iterator has internal buffering, output won't be
flushed until enough data is available.  Therefore, it could easily miss
important messages such as "waiting for lock".
