If you were to use this instead:

system("/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari");

You would get a new instance of Safari. Much like opening multiple instances of IE in Windows. But this isn't Mac behavior so use "open" instead.

If you want to open Safari, use this:

system("open /Applications/Safari.app");
