Yes. This is what happens:

Actually, it reminds me of an older bug report I put into a
longer posting before the big discussion. I repeat it here:

************************************************************

What I did now was to compare the makefiles between my old piper
version and the new one in the directory
piper/dl/vflow/interfaces. The result is interesting:

--- ./piper_old/dl/vflow/interfaces/Makefile    Sun Jan  7 00:12:39 2001
+++ ./piper/dl/vflow/interfaces/Makefile        Sat Jan 27 18:57:50 2001

Actually, in the new vflowmodule line there is an opening
bracket missing. The same in the @rm line. No wonder that make
gets confused.

The offending line wasn't changed since then ( I checked it )
