Thanks to all of you for solving this issue. I am a little surprised that the
call from bash (without the double quote) worked all those years on the old SuSE
8.0 system but does not on Ubuntu 8.1 now. I guess handling quotes is something
vital in bash but it seems I overlooked a change of this behavior.
