Ah! Mate, please include the entire file that causes problems next
time. Your description
(% /bin/sh
$ xetex xyz
works...
... but invoked through /bin/sh in a child process it doesn't)
indicate that 99% it's strange shell behaviour in question; and then
people spend their time trying to reproduce your problem -- which is not
possible without Makefile parts you didn't show.
Bruno, great intuition! :)
