Subject: e2fsprogs - Unable to run "make check" on ubuntu

Hi,

I was running "make check" on ubuntu 7.10 and encountered the below error

/home/mkatiyar/e2fs-git/lib/ss> make check
        RUN TEST test_ss
/bin/sh: Syntax error: Bad fd number
make: *** [check] Error 2

It is because on ubuntu /bin/sh is a soft link to "dash" on ubuntu
which doesn't seem to respect the standard redirection of >& to
test_out. Changing either the shell to "/bin/bash" or changing the
standard ">& test_out" to ">test_out 2>&1" works properly.

Let me know if we need to change and which one is the correct fix for
it. I will submit a patch for it.
