Thanx Mike for diagnosing the cause of the problem. I had been having
this problem on Win98 with B20.1 also and hadn't been able to find a
solution. I just made /bin/sh a link to bash.exe as opposed to sh.exe
before. But I remember someone saying something about ash being more
stable for configures than bash. Could I run into problems because of
that?
