Horvan, Please use reply-all to keep the bug log in the recipient list

participate.  The bug log is that 15168 address in the recipient list.
Thanks.  I forward this to the bug log.

Please show us exactly what you did to cause mkdir to create a file
instead of a directory.  The use of a sub sub shell will not matter to
mkdir.

Until we see how you did this we will think it is not a bug in mkdir
but is instead a bug in your script.  But if you show us then all
doubt is removed.  Please show us.

Bob
