The only thing that I can imaging happening is that I edited out some stupid
comments.  Maybe I induced a typo.  Here is my ORIGINAL, unedited, with very
silly comments in a few places and some my-system specific things that you
can figure out what to remove:


if [ -z "$1" ]
then
	cd /etc/lddrv
	./mkifile /unix unix.syma
	cmp -s unix.sym unix.syma	
	if [ $? != 0 ] 
	then
		mv unix.syma unix.sym	
		rm -f wind		
	fi
	sync
	> /etc/drvtab
	sync
	if [ ! "`grep wdinit unix.sym`" ]
	then
		./lddrv -av wind > /tmp/.winload 2>/tmp/.winload  || (
 			echo Window driver did not load because: > /dev/console
