Description Scott M. Ferris 2008-04-10 20:28:50 UTC 
Version 2.1.4 keeps giving the following error (at least with app-shells/bash-3.2_p33)

Version 2.1.5 is available and doesn't do this.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkdir foo
2. makeself.sh --nocomp --nox11 foo foo.run "foo" ./foo/foo.sh
3.
