execute_command_line crashes on nonexisting command

The intrinsic 'execute_command_line' instruction (F2008) crashes on Intel Fortran for Linux 17.0.4 with segmentation fault if the command cannot be found. This is a strange behaviour. I am using the instruction to test if certain executable module can be  run based on the exitstat and cmdstat parameters, but it does not work this way with ifort.

Here is the test code:

program zzz

integer :: int_1 = 0, int_2 = 0
character(len=:), allocatable :: CMD
character(len=255) :: msg_out = "unknown"
CMD="zzz_idontexist"

call execute_command_line( CMD, wait=.TRUE., exitstat=int_1,   &
                           cmdstat=int_2 ,cmdmsg=msg_out )

print *, "Report: ", CMD, int_1, int_2, trim(msg_out)

end program zzz

Here is the output comparing it with GNU gfortran:

$ gfortran test_exec_cmd.f90
$ ./a.out
sh: 1: zzz_idontexist: not found
 Report: zzz_idontexist         127           0 unknown


$ ifort test_exec_cmd.f90
$ ./a.out

$ ifort -v

Strangely, the same code works on the Windows platform:
