Comment 1 for bug 989371

Hmm, I don't believe that's the case. Shell script lets you go and do stuff like this:

#!/bin/sh
blah=true
if [ $blah = true ];then
echo "yes"
fi

And that works out just fine. would you mind adding a echo $RET right before that to see what value public bind is returning? The other thing is this code hasn't changed in several releases, it's odd if it's all of a sudden a problem.
