- True. The same happens on SunOS machines, so this is supposedly a
- genuine elm bug (since checkalias simply calls "exec elm -c $*" iff in
- fact there were arguments supplied).
-
- Workaround: change the 'exec' call in the checkalias script to:
-
- echo "`exec elm -c $*`"
-
- and it'll run fine. But that's just a Q&D hack, of course.
-
- Good Luck, Jeroen.
