I've just discovered a minor incompatibility between rc and sh:

	sh -ce foo	# execute foo and exit on any error
	rc -ce foo	# execute e with an argument of foo

rc is behaving according to the manual page, so this is not a bug,
however, I wonder if the behaviour should be changed to follow that of
sh?

I came across this using make on our new SGI machine -- it executes
commands with $SHELL -ce ... and I had forgotten to explicity set SHELL
to sh within the Makefile.
