Uhm... this _may_ actually be one of my old nemesises (sorry for
forgetting this one) when building ast-open. AFAIK the problem is that
something in the build system goes "mad" and randomly enables
SHOPT_*-flags (AFAIK in this case this may be |SHOPT_SPAWN|).
Somewhere on my list of forgotten things (that's why I was praying for
a bugzilla to document such bugs and work on them later) is an item
which says "... test mam*-tools and nmake against valgrind and
Rational Purify... " ... I bet there is a simple variable without a
defined value floating around which causes this.
