 Strangely, this seems to be related to running "install" within shell scripts 
 only as it works fine from the command line.  More strange still is that a 
 quick look at the xinstall.c code does not show any way that the exit code can 
 be set to 1!  Is this a /bin/sh problem instead?
 
 Here's my minimal test case for reproducing the problem (with some extra LFs 
 for easier reading):
 
 219 test> cat bar
 
 #!/bin/sh
 /usr/bin/install -d $1
 echo $#
 
 220 test> /bin/sh
 $ /usr/bin/install -d foob
 $ echo $#
 0
 $ exit
 
 221 test> rmdir foob
 
 222 test> bar foob
 1
 
 
 What the devil?
