Bug#129009: texdoc: broken backgrounding behaviour

[David Schmitt <david@schmitt.edv-bus.at>]

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20011202-2
Severity: normal

Hi there!

% ~$ texdoc booktabs
%   /usr/bin/texdoc: eval: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `&'
%   /usr/bin/texdoc: eval: line 1: `xdvi /tmp/texdoc20357/booktabs.dvi; rm
%   -f /tmp/texdoc20357/booktabs.dvi; clean_tmp; &'

Removing the '&'s from the viewer made it work again, but is IHO not
quite the intended behaviour.

By looking at the provided defines, I also think, that eg the call to
netscape won't work as intended.



Thanks for your time and work!

Regards, David
