Package: dash
Version: 0.5.5.1-7.4
Trying to start dash as interactive shell starts looping error messages
until killed, in some xen vps machines. (Unfortunately I don't know why
some have this error and others do not.)
$ dash
dash: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting ")")

Ok, this still doesn't make sense. Where is dash reading 'ulimit -c
0; id -un <- || print $?) typeset d="$PWD"' and so on from?
I guess output from "strace -f -e open dash" might help. Anyway, I'm
closing this since all signs point to the bug being about some form of
misconfiguration, though I'll be happy to continue helping to track it
down in the hope that there might be a bug lurking somewhere.
Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan
