Subject: Re: [MTT users] Patch for whatami (new sles10 lsb-release file
	format)
I'm still getting the error. Solaris sh seems to genuinely
have a problem with foo=$(bar) syntax:
  $ cat ./dollar-paren.sh
  #!/bin/sh
  foo=$(date)
  $ ./dollar-paren.sh
  dollar-paren.sh: syntax error at line 2: `foo=$' unexpected
Backticks seem to work though. E.g.,
  foo=`date`
