Title:
  Autotools and its generated scripts depend on stdin

Status in autoconf package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Running a fresh install of Xubuntu 12.04.1, up-to-date as of yesterday.
  I'm following instructions in an online tutorial at http://fsmsh.com/2755
  With a tiny project (tar attached) and smallest possible configure.ac, running 'autoreconf' as instructed never completes.  However, if I run it with stdin redirected from /dev/null, it finishes in 2.6 seconds.

  Something very similar happens later with the scripts that get
  generated, except that they work fine if I run them under bash instead
  of sh (of course they're the same program).
