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.
