Which version of make are you using?  Don't forget to check if you are
using the one in /usr/bin.  I checked the diffs on prep.ai.mit.edu and
the bug was introduced in version 3.73.

David,

Your test case didn't demonstrate the failure as you intended it to do
on my Debian system (which should be a whole lot like your Debian system).
Any idea why?

	Thanks

Version: 3.74-1

Make can't execute scripts that don't have a #! interpreter line.
Here is a shell archive containing a test case to reproduce the
problem and a patch to fix it.
