Ah, good catch. I do in fact have /usr/share/emacs-snapshot ->
/usr/local/share/emacs/22.1.50. So it wasn't a shell issue after all.

That doesn't quite work. But it does turn out that the subshell and
loop aren't really needed. I've attached a more minimalistic patch that
does work for me, with xemacs21, emacs-snapshot, and emacs21.
