Hi netters, I have a weird problem with shell script on sun machine runing SunOS 4.0.3. The following is description of the problem: Bourne shell scripts core dumps when reading a file with functions in it. An example of the shell program is: ------------------- #!/bin/sh -- . $DEFINITIONS . $FUNCTIONS -- -- ____________________ $DEFINITONS is an enviormental variable. $FUNCTIONS is an enviormental variable. So, the program reads the $DEFINITONS and blows up at $FUNCTIONS and it core dumps. Message is either "segmentations faults or memory violations". This is problem just started happening after working for weeks on daily basis. If we try "sh <name of script>, it works fine. We 'll appreciate your valuable input. Thanks in advance.
