Fix bugs in x=!cmd; we can't use pexpect at all....

Fix bugs in x=!cmd; we can't use pexpect at all. pexpect makes the subprocesses format their output for a terminal, with a mix of spaces, tabs and newlines. This makes it virtually impossible to then capture their output and do anything useful with it. Fixed a few other small bugs and inconsistencies in process handling.
