/etc/shinit EXTRACT (sh shell, profile - ENV=shinit)

alias a="blah blah"
alias h="blah blah"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
can anyone tell me why alias "a" causes MAKEDEV to crash (where marked) 
yet alias "h" doesn't?  i'm not too smart when it comes to Makefiles or 
substitution priorities ...
