+Version 5.3 at least has the same sh/bash bug as the *BSD systems
+above. This appears to be fixed in 5.5.

+Will not compile correctly unless you configure with the --enable-debug
+option. It appears to find conflicts in the headers only when debugging
+is disabled. With debugging enabled, it compiles and runs happily.

+*** This test has been updated and should work now ***
The configuration script does a test to discover the functions
sigsetjmp/siglongjmp. Since they are macros on Linux, the configuration
process doesn't find them. After running configure, you should change
-the line in config.h to define HAVE_SIGSETJMP.

For some Linux distributions, the configure script doesn't find the
ndbm/gdbm library (dbm_open, dbm_close). In this case, you should try to
configure nmh like this:

+With --enable-debug you'll see a lot of warnings. This is even worse
+when compiling using the Sun Workshop compiler since it issues a
+warning for every instance of a problem instead of summarizing them.
+The main one concerns arrays with an index of type char. This is ok.
+The array itself is a hash of chars, so the array size and the type
+match. There isn't another safe and portable way to do this at the
+moment. An explicit cast would get rid of the warnings, but I think
+it's better to leave it complaining for now until we come up with
+a better solution. The whole thing is probablly going to be chucked
+with UTC-8 support anyway.

+Other than the warnings, it builds ok.
