Earl,

I'm guessing it's the semicolon. You found the code where the decision is 
made, what does it say?

But... Following your lead, I looked at ps.c. What a mess.

CORRECTION: ... I looked at >>> job.c <<<.


Look at line 2414. Search for "sh_chars_sh" which is used to inialize 
"sh_chars" which is tested on line 2569.

Why is the semicolon there in your makefile, anyway?

Randy
