In case noone else sees it, you assigned to $foo and output $bar, so
the result is naturally empty. You should probably try again without
mixing test 1 and 2

Thanks, but you skipped the most important tests :)
Could you try all of these?

The ouput of "make check" was about 64k; should I just email it or wait
until the next round of patches?

I'm lost. I thought it was the redirection of `cd' which was wrong,
and though it would be the same for all builtins... S

When make check fails building the testsuite, just run it again, it
should work the second time
Akim,
I just downloaded a fresh CVS autoconf and did a build on the Ultrix
box.
This time, I was able to do the build in a subdir (builddir != srcdir).
The tail fragment of "make check" follows. Much better - I'll see if I
can install the GNU grep stuff and see if that helps.

I don't understand this, it is not consistent with `cd'. Isn't `echo'
a builtin on your shell? Then I would understand.
Hm, what else must be a builtin? exit has to be.
foo=`exit 12 2>/dev/null`
bar=`(exit 12) 2>/dev/nul
Akim,
Here they are.

Thanks, this is the culprit:
at_dir=`cd "$at_dir" 2>/dev/null && pwd`
because PATH may include nonexistent dirs, I included the 2>/dev/null
part.
Can you try these please? I'd like

That was to be expected. If you could send a snippet of sh -x

Akim,
I grabbed the CVS copy a few minutes ago - it looked like your patch had
been applied.
I did a "configure/make/make check" on the Ultrix box.
I originally tried to do the build/test in a subdir, but that failed
trying to locate some of the files for sed processing (as I recall).
