Portability bug in genbki.sh --> initdb hangup
Can someone please apply this portability patch to genbki.sh ? (Mark or
Bruce?)
It fixes a problem when cpp gives a warning when precompiling /dev/null
like:
"/dev/null", line 1: 1506-229 (W) File is empty.
This leads to a hangup when doing the description load during initdb,
since stderr also ends up in the global1.description and
local1_template1.description
stderr has to be redirected to /dev/null:
*** genbki.sh.ori Tue Aug 21 18:18:03 1998
--- genbki.sh Tue Aug 25
10:32:19 1998

*** 24,30 ****
/tmp/genbki.tmp
PATH=$PATH:/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/ccs/lbin # to find cpp
! cpp
/dev/null >/dev/null
if [ "$?" -ne 0 ]
then echo "Can't find cpp.
Exiting." 1>&2
exit 1

Applied. The patch you sent had an unusual wrap problem, but I added
the 2>&1.
