Bugs using PeeWee on Mandrake 7.2

[Adi Linden]

Hi Ralph,

I've had several reports of this happening. The files are fine since I had
a the tarred up scripts emailed to me. They run just fine on my system. So
the bash isue is certainly something to consider. I installed bash2 a

included and installed with RedHat 6.2. 

TTYL,
Adi
