Wow! You nailed it dead-on. The version of expr that was installed
with BeOS PPC R5 is from GNU sh-utils 2.0. This is the broken version.
I replaced it with v1.16 from the GeekGadets project. At least the
first test seems to function properly. I will re-run the autoconf
testsuite to see if (at least some) problems go away.
Thank you for your help,
Brian
