No, I don't have any items that start with "mtd" in /dev.

However, I believe I've come across a bug in Bash 4.0-024.  From the
shell tracing I've done, this simple command sequence demonstrates the
problem:

  bash-4.0$ cat test.sh
  #!/bin/sh
  echo Hello

  bash-4.0$ . test.sh
  Hello
  bash-4.0$ sh
  sh-4.0$ . test.sh
  sh: .: test.sh: file not found


This is why I'm getting the error message near the top of my log:

  scripts/Configure: line 551: .: .config-is-not.12306: file not found

On my system, /bin/sh is just a symlink to /bin/bash.

This is a bug, right?  Or could it be a problem with my distro's
configuration (almost vanilla, I think):

Thanks,
