Hi Michael,

- please send me the shells
- I thought about fixing system() too (read the mintdocs),
  but entropy is against this until everyone has a /bin/sh.
  Similar thoughts about popen(), which doesn't use the /bin/sh 
  by default. Personally, I always use my own version of the
  mintlibs with a patched system() (and getopt(), and statfs, etc...)

Bye, Hildo
