Failure of testsuite/autoupdate

[David Morgan]

Hi Pavel,

I am trying the testsuite on QNX and in test 7 we lock up totally.

I investigated the cause and it is quite amusing.

There is a line 91 (in my version) which has

$sed --version > /dev/null 2>&1 || ...

The sed on QNX will just stop at this point as it has no input and
just sits and waits for input.

I changed this to:

$sed --version < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 || ...

And the test suite continued.

I also noticed a few lines below there is code:

dir=`echo "$0" | sed ... `

shouldn't this be:

dir=`echo "$0" | $sed ...`

As $sed is set from the environment variable if necessary.

We then stop in the semantic checks in test 26 in semantics.m4:425

This appears to be a similar problem as hitting Ctrl-D continues the 
testsuite.

The autoupdate tests have the similar problem of needing a Ctrl-D.

The other oddity is that the tests seem to be one per line in syntax.m4
and update.m4.  Is this a change I had missed?

Regards
 David
