Comment (by zamoose):

 Sounds like either a bad host setting or mod_security.  Ask your hosting
 provider if there's anything in their security setup that would block
 such.

 WordPress shouldn't be blocking any of this, as it doesn't make system()
 calls on the_content().  Also take a look at your plugin list - perhaps
 PHPExec or runPHP is being enabled and trying to execute curl() or wget()
 functions in php...?
