Hi,

env -i make check fails with:
Testing ASCIItst-table.sh:38: command not found: tst-table-charmap.sh

while make check works.

This is due to the assumption SHELL is set:
    <original env>: SHELL unset
        $(MAKE) check: SHELL defined by make
            $(SHELL) tst-tables.sh: SHELL is a regular var, not env
                $(SHELL) tst-table.sh: SHELL unset (new shell)
                    $(SHELL) tst-table-charmap.sh: fails

This patch against CVS fixes it:

BTW, This is with /bin/sh == bash, but my shell in passwd (getent passwd `id
-u`) is set to zsh which results in bash -c 'echo $SHELL' => /bin/zsh which
might be one reason it fails.

Bye

There are countless assumptions that are made while running the test suite.  I
don't start changing the test suite so that people with strange/wrong
environments can run it.  Fix up your environment.
