This sounds similar to the "find" bug...  The problematic system is
using the Win95 find (\Windows\Command\find.exe) when a shell script
actually needs the unix-like find command (or the other way around).

Verify the PATH environment variable directory order on the systems.

Then, locate the offending command line.  Look for a duplicate program
name on your path. Try using the Win95 "Find..." dialog or the bash
command "type badname" (where badname is the program in question -- it
will display the location of the command)

Good luck,
Bill
