Hy

I found a BUG in gmake while calling the shell function.
The bug may appear only on N(ew)T(rash) and on 95.

In my makefile, i have the following assignment:

	SPECIAL_SOURCE=$(shell echo magic ; echo tragic)

	check:
		@echo $(SPECIAL_SOURCE)


Calling make check would print out only "tragic". I guess the 
magic has been overwritten, because of a \r, that toss back
the internal write pointer back to the initial position.

Iff you exchange the assignment by a

	SPECIAL_SOURCE=`echo magic ; echo tragic`

everything works fine. I can not promise to fix it, cause i am running
out of time with my project.
