shtool hangs on Solaris (ITS#2134)

The build/shtool script hangs on Solaris 8.  Not sure why.  The ./configure
script 
was hanging on me when I tried to run it, so I tracked down the problem to the
commands:

TB=`$SHTOOL echo -e %B`
TN=`$SHTOOL echo -e %b`

in the configure script.  
I tried running shtool manually from the command line with those same arguments,
and
it also froze.  I then tried it on a FreeBSD system, and it worked perfectly
fine.  
Thanks for any help you can render, Matt.
