Strange problem with pre3

Strange problem with pre3

[Bill Pemberton]

I'm seeing a strange problem with pre3.  The following script doesn't work
with pre3 compiled on AIX 4.1.4 (it does, however, work with pre3 compiled
on AIX 4.2).


---- Cut Here ----
#!/bin/zsh

QTMP=/tmp/blah

/usr/bin/rm -Rf $QTMP

mkdir $QTMP
mkdir $QTMP/pics
mkdir $QTMP/procmail
mkdir $QTMP/script
mkdir $QTMP/trash
mkdir $QTMP/wwwcache

touch $QTMP/procmail/mail.trash
touch $QTMP/procmail/procmail.log

chmod -R a+rx $QTMP
---- Cut Here ----

The script just terminates after the rm.

That's a known problem, fixed in pre4.
