Is this report a duplicate of bug #44712?

Here is an example of a `system` call that I would expect to silently fail:


>> [out, msg] = system ("blob");
sh: 1: blob: not found
>> out
a = 127
>> msg
msg=


An error is displayed (which IIUC should not happen), the output status is correctly non 0 but the error `msg` is empty.
