Several people have already responded, suggesting that the SunOS sh dies because the ENVIRONMENT is too large. Unsetting as many variables as possible before starting the make will supposedly do the trick. I have forwarded this suggestion on to the lucky guy who gets to do the rebuilding. Thanks, Chris Koenigsberg

Does anyone know if this problem persists under SunOS 4.1.1? I know it caused problems under 4.0.3.

>Does anyone know if this problem persists under SunOS 4.1.1? I know it >caused problems under 4.0.3. I haven't seen it under 4.1.1, and I have reason to believe some shell bugs of that sort were, in fact, fixed in 4.1.
