  Is your /bin/sh actually bash?  Either that, has some one committed some
sh fixes in the last month?

  For example, the following script demonstrates a problem that I see with
some configure scripts that scan for the location of some binary via a for
loop and "test":

#! /bin/sh

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin

IFS="${IFS= 	}"; ac_save_ifs="$IFS"; IFS="${IFS}:"
for ac_dir in $PATH:/usr/local/bin$ac_dummy; do
	echo "ac_dir is $ac_dir"
done


produces the following output with /bin/sh:

ac_dir is /bin
ac_dir is /usr/bin
ac_dir is /sbin:/usr/local/bin


but with bash:

ac_dir is /bin
ac_dir is /usr/bin
ac_dir is /sbin
ac_dir is /usr/local/bin


  In fact, I eventually broke down and dl'ed the kdelibs to look at the
configure script.  Sure enough, line 3705 is very similar to my
snippet above.
