During trying to make GNATS - 3.00 work (I'll try 3.01 later) I found that
there must be some problem with quotes under the stock 386BSD /bin/sh (ash).
The send-pr script chokes on something like unbalanced quotes or such.
I just built bash, and symlinked /bin/sh to it. Works really well,
although it's funny that if you ask for /bin/sh as your shell you get
history editing! :-)
