Amanda was working fine on a Solaris box for a couple years now, and
started failing recently, as shown below.  It turned out that on a
linux box where /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/bash the chg-zd-mtx
script runs fine, but fails on a solaris box (SunOS vogue 5.8
Generic_108528-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4) because the old version of
sh does not support recursive calls.  In the sh funcion loadslot(), if
there is a cleaning needed, it calls itself with the clean argument. 
Since old sh cannot call a recursive fcn, this must be an external
command, which luckily was not in the path!  :-)  The fix for me was
to change the first line to #!/bin/bash.
