Hi Igor

Yes i'm using -4

I can't figure out how to get to an older version to see if this
localizes the problem, hints ?

I prefer not to have to add workarounds, this problem is visible in the
department buildtools, a rather large set of hundreds of make scripts,
luckily must users haven't upgraded yet.

If someone else could confirm it would help with making a bit more
formal bugreport if someone is intrested.

Greets, Bart
