It does not fail using bash 2.04 built using 2.03 refresh.  So this is
probably a bash 2.05 problem.  If you are working with a tree that has
been built once before fixinc.sh is not removed on make clean, so 
you would only see the problem on a clean tree using bash 2.05.
If you look at the makefile the symbol srcdir is set via a 
cd then pwd'ed into the symbol.  This symbol is then passed to 
a bash command.  This behavior seems to have broken somehow.

Refresh (plus refreshed bnu2112, *2953* and refreshed make, plus old
bison, old texinfo) was able to build refresh again under Win95 
and under DOS (after fixing short name headaches due to expanding
under Win95...)

Right now the v2.03 refresh zips I'm working from are on 
 http://clio.rice.edu/djgpp
(These are just rebuilds from the current simtel source zips, with
the binary zips having replaced .exe files) - no other updates.
