Yes, I agree that this is the problem.  It is probably better to patch 
the Configure script to properly unset newsh or else we may run into 
additional problems later.  However, if you can just leave your solution 
in place for now, that is fine.  I'm in the middle of a rather large set 
of updates for Perl and Perl-related packages, so I'll just fix it my 
Perl update (which I'm committing early next week).
