It fixes the examples and thus my problems :-)

I already created a work-around in `make buildworld' so it works on
older shells without the need to build sh(1) in the bootstrap stage,
because the bug only pops up when doing a parallel make (ie make -jN)
because each command will be executed by the same shell instance in that
case.

BTW: Don't forget to remove '-g' from CFLAGS when you commit the patch
:-)
