Does the test suite use bash as it's shell?  I seem to have to use
bash now to run the test.  I do not remember having to use bash on
earlier 1.6.0

If your /bin/sh is not POSIX enough, you may be using a different shell
when building the scripted commands in the main Makefile by setting
SHELL_PATH.  The tests are supposed to use the same one as that.

I have to use bash to run the test or I get

The open parenthesis on line 52 is the one between h and 4 here:

Perhaps your shell has a broken here-text?

On OpenServer 6.0.6 /u95/bin/sh /u95/bin/ksh /u95/bin/bash are POSIX 
compliant shells.  The /bin/ shells are the stand SCO has had finx XENIX. 
They use system 5v3.  POSIX is System 5v4.
