Andrew Thomas reports:

	I have a shell file which is read when I log in to set my functions.
	This one causes a core dump;

	function distr ()
	{
	  local machines='watnext watsnew watsup watever watif watsleft'
	  local current=`/bin/hostname`
	  local curdir=$PWD
	  if [ "$1" = "-m" ] ; then
	    shift
	    machines="$1"
	    shift
	  done						<-- should be fi

I have sent a fix for this to Brian.
