I'm running Ubuntu 6.06, and /bin/sh links to /bin/bash, not dash.

The updated Makefile didn't fix the problem. I'm now using the 4717 
revision. Doing:

make distclean
./bootstrap
./configure

fails in the 'boost' section of mblock, while doing the same thing but 
compiling pmt first results in a failure in the omnithread section of 
mblock (as Josh Blum saw).
