This one of a few very often reported bugs that is fixed in the 1.4-px
series, so please upgrade to automake 1.4-p5 if you require Automake
1.4, or else to the latest stable release Automake 1.5. Both have the
bug fixed.
Do Mandrake really distribute a 2 year release of Automake with their
latest release? Hmmm.
Cheers,
Gary.
