Justine Smithies (nprofile…t4qe) I'd guess the Bourne shell on BSD is more feature full than the Bourne shell I learned (and taught) in pre-Linux Unix (Solaris, Domain OS etc. days). My memory of the value of the history builtin postdates exposure to Linux and Unix CAD/CAM workstations being replaced by Windows in the nineties.
Your bug fix may be narrowed by seeing if the problem can be replicated in bash (can't see why bash wouldn't compile easily on BSD). Developing your own minimal command shell in 'C' is a useful learning experience, as you'll need to learn about fork(), wait(), chdir(), environment pointers, and the exec() family of system calls.
