Actually you can trust the other 6 reports. This one was a unique case.
My UnixWare 7.1.4 box also has LKP (Linux Kernel Personality). Unfotunatly
because I used symbolic links instead of local mount for my common
source tree, the system saw that /opt/src/gnu/m4-1.4.10/configure as being
in the UnixWare space and invoked the UnixWare /bin/sh instead of the
Linux /bin/sh causing the problem. :-(
All the other reports were on machines running native OS.
