Thanks Igor. I knew it had to be something stupid.
FWIW, I first tried the script verbatum from the original bug report. It
had no #! line, and I thought that might be a problem. I went through
several iterations of no #!, #!/bin/sh, #!/bin/bash, and even `expr $C +
1`, so I knew about that issue. It must be too late in the day for me, as
this stuff always happens to me around quiting time :).
I'm still seeing "weirdness", but I'll have to poke around a lot more to
accurately define it.
