Hi

I have just downloaded the source for pdksh and comiled it. However, I'm
getting some pretty wierd messages. For instance, I just issued "ls -l" in
succession:

My main concern is: why did it try call call "rm.exe"? Note that this is a
DOS utility that I used to use before I discovered Cygwin. I obtained the
pdksh source from ftp.cs.mun.ca/pub/pdksh/pdksh-5.2.14.tar.gz, which I
believe is reputable. I'm the only person who uses my PC, and I'm
Zonealarmed and Antivirused to my eyeballs, so I don't think that the
problem has occured as a result of a hacker or virus. And bash functions as
expected. Has anyone else had similar problems?

Dan
