>Description:
firefox silently exits
>How-To-Repeat:
Set MOZILLA_USE_LINUX. Build firefox-bin and install. Run
"firefox-linux" and watch it silently exit. If you ktrace
"run-mozilla.sh" you'll quickly see why: it tries to find
the md5sum executable, but because the shell script is run
with the *NetBSD* /bin/sh, it doesn't pick up /emul/linux/usr/bin
in the path.
>Fix:
The cleanest fix is probably to replace #!/bin/sh with
#!/emul/linux/bin/sh in all the shell scripts when installing.
In fact, this might save patching many shell scripts in many
packages for differences between native sh and bash.
