Yeah. I think the fact that fixing the test to properly respect EOF
required you to later change the line number is a good indication that
the test was broken in the first place. :)

Thanks. Note that my patch still technically adds a tab in front of the
$*. I can't imagine that would matter, but if we wanted to be extra

  eval "test ... && set -x
$*"

with no indentation at all.
