I have determined the source of this problem. For some
reason, there was a file called ss in the ${ssdir} directory.
On removing this, the build worked.
Playing around with exec helped me to determine this error,
but perhaps vssget should be rewritten to run ss.exe, rather
than just ss (unless there's a unix variant of sourcesafe -
sounds pretty unlikely to me)
