True. I was using bash (that's what 5 years of using Linux does to you...)

If the bug appears with one shell but not with another, then surely the bug
is in the shell, no?

$ echo $SHELL
/usr/local/bin/bash
$ echo $BASH_VERSION
3.00.0(1)-release
$ nice -n 5 date
Mon 28 Feb 2005 00:06:32 CET
$ csh
%nice -n 5 date
nice: Badly formed number.
