For the benefit of those wondering why they never saw this problem,
even after using bash for a while: bash in POSIX mode (e.g. when
running as "sh") does not have the same problem.
Presumably that's why this problem was not noticed until on a platform
without bash as /bin/sh, in v1.7.0-rc1~30 (work around an obnoxious
bash "safety feature" on OpenBSD, 2010-01-26).
I still like the patch. :)
