Well, I have to agree that it really was just a "workaround" here. If
someone can come up with a better solution (a "fix" for GNU shtool?)
I would be happy. I just was not able to find one by looking at the
provides outputs. I do not see why the stuff fails on IRIX. At least
"s/../../" commands never caused us such trouble, so I guess it is
related to the other sed commands used here.
