Subject: Problems with Bash 1.12.1?

I have been trying to run the "make depend" script for Smail
version 3.1.25 under linux and I continually get errors when
it is trying to make dependencies in the src directory. I've
tracked the trouble (I think) to the shell script mkdrivtab.sh.
What happens is that it will not create makefiles for any of the
source subdirectories or for the source directory itself.

If I take the same package with the same EDITME file and run
"make -k depend 2>&1 | tee mkdep.out" as the README states (this
is the same command I am using under linux) everything works fine
except that the resulting makefiles have the directory and include
structure from the machine make was run on. Right now, I'm editing
all of the make files by hand, but this seems to be a failing
with Bash. I'm using the version with job control that came with
the MCC-interim release but the straight version 1.12 fails also.

Thanks,

Bill
