I am using bash 2.04. TMPDIR points to an existing directory.
I try to run the following script:
#! /bin/sh
./bar.sub

The script ./bar.sub is a **valid** shell script.
The above script works as it should work as long as
LFN are ***enabled***.
Once again: The above script works if LFN=y.
As soon as LFN is set to n (LFN=n), the above
script stops working. All this means that
bash seems to lose the capability to indentify
a shell script as soon as LFN support becomes disabled.
With LFN=n, there are two ways to get the *above* script working:
1)  bar.sub must be renamed to bar.sh
2)  ./bar.sub must be replaced by sh ./bar.sub

bash 2.03 does the job as it should be done.

Guerrero, Juan M.
