Bug#240231: tetex-bin: mktextfm fails to create font

kpsewhich fails here and returns something empty, but this is what I
expect here.

Next in my script is:
    if test -n "$sauterroot"; then
      rootfile=$sauterroot
      rootname=b-$rootname
    ...
but the trace continues with:

> + rc=1
> + cd /
> + cd /home/dellaved/Articoli/GeneNetworks/Martini
> + test -f /tmp/mt19615.tmp/mt19615.out
> + rm -rf /tmp/mt19615.tmp
> + exit 1

which is the exit-trap.

Maybe, somehow something like "set -e" is still in use somehow?

For me,
  mf-nowin -progname=mf '\mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ecrm1095'
just works (including the nested  mktexmf ecrm1095 command), so I don't
think this is a teTeX problem...
