Jim Fulton and I spent two days during the integration process rearranging andrew.rls to get rid of these problems, but as the system changes, they reemerge. Generally the work-around is to simplify the instructions to sh found in andrew.rls. Since we haven't a SUN4 to play with here, maybe someone who has can post a fix. FredH PS. It would help to know exactly which directory the failure occurred in. Checking patches.003, however, I can find nothing that should have affected the sh commands generated in the Makefile. Sometimes the SUN4 sh failure is non-repeatable.
