  Is there on MacMinix, as configured out of the box, a practical limit on
the number of nested levels of child processes. I wrote a sh script that calls
another sh script which uses sed. I get back a reply that it could not execute
sed. I am able to execute sed at top level, and at the second level, but
not at the third level.
  I have started going through Tannenbaum's book, but am trying to do other
class work at home, making a number of file managemnet scripts for configur-
ation management.
