Summary:                    psmisc no longer builds
Description: 
The shell scripting in the Makefile for psmisc tries to create signames.h
from signames.c through numerous shell commands. That works. The next
command does a sanity check for the HUP signal to appear in the resulting
signames.h. This grep errors with return code 1 (which invokes rm to
remove signames.h again). The Makefile errors out there with 'exit 1':

grep '^{ 1,"HUP" },$$' signames.h >/dev/null || \
                  { rm -f signames.h; exit 1; }


In my case, there is no space after the opening accolade '{' in the
signames.h file (fix 1).

Even then, grep will not match, only when I remove the $$ (EOL) marker.
This might as well be a grep 2.5.1 bug -- please test against other
systems.
