Thanks for looking into this. I prefer not to paper over any bugs that we don't understand, though. If you are willing to look into this more, it's got to do with 'set -e'. Note that while heirloom and Solaris sh are similar, they aren't identical, and I wouldn't want to invest work into fixing issues that are in the former only, since it's definitely not a normal development environment. This test fails on Solaris as well though. Cheers, Ralf
