I don't know what this is, but it generates pretty seriously malformed
SMTP messages :-/.


Using the Win32 port of GNU make 3.79.1 on Windows 2000 with either the =
Cygwin shell, or the MKS sh.exe, or even the Windows cmd.exe I get a =
hang when running the following makefile:

  PKGDIR = $(shell echo this.is.a.test | sed 's:\.:/:g')

Your best bet is to ask on address@hidden, but, did you try running
this directoy at the command line, without using make's shell function?

If that doesn't work, then it's not a make issue at all and you should
ask the Cygwin or even the MKS or Microsoft folks.
