Thank you.  Sorry for the breakage; I didn't intend to use any
non-portable shell idioms.  I'm not expert enough to say whether this
is a bug in dash, but I don't suppose that matters: we are where we
are.

There's no reason not to replace the "." with "bash".  Do you want me
to do anything?

Andrew.
