Title:
  Test relating to solaris hangs my system

Status in autoconf package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Line 56 of the script contains an invocation of a command named
  "print".  This appears to be related to Solaris, and wants to use a
  builtin if it's ksh.

  The problem is that it's not a builtin on my system, and I have a Perl
  script installed in /usr/local/bin/print that gets invoked and it
  hangs forever with these arguments.  I've fixed my script, but this
  seems quite clumsy on the part of autoconf.  By chance it works
  without my script because it invokes something from package mime-
  support.

  It seems to me that autoconf ought at least to know if it's running
  ksh, and that perhaps the test before it is failing to filter for
  that.
