OK, sorry, I missed this somehow. > Submitted patches are almost never suitable for committing directly. Well, I did look at it first, sheesh! ;) Given the mastications that sh was doing on the value of the integer there, the fix seemed perfectly correct so I committed it. I didn't know I was walking into a POSIX war in the process, the kind where you generally tend to note 27 different things which are wrong in copious detail and thus scare everyone away from actually trying to treat the affected areas. :-) Been there, done that already, am backing out the change right now. :) Jordan
