No, not particularly weird, given that you just forcefed a sh script to bash.

Had you done "/bin/sh ./configure" it should have worked.  That's why we kept telling
you to check the #! at the top of the file.  The script should be run with the interpreter 
listed there, and if that path is wrong (like for some stupid reason your host moved
/bin/sh somewhere else) then running it as "./configure" won't work.
