This change breaks "M-x man" for me:
2004-05-11 Alexander Pohoyda <address@hidden> (tiny change)
* man.el (Man-getpage-in-background): Use shell-file-name
and shell-command-switch variables instead of hard-coded values.
My SHELL environment variable (and hence shell-file-name) is /bin/tcsh
In the manpage buffer I get:
> Unmatched '.
> BEGIN: Command not found.
> anonblank=0: Command not found.
> }: Command not found.
> Illegal variable name.
> {: Command not found.
}: Command not found.
> Illegal variable name.
> Badly placed ()'s.
> Unmatched '.
> process exited abnormally with code 1
If I set SHELL to /bin/sh and restart emacs everything works fine as again.
