Ah, I implicitely assumed that you would also pass the "-i -v" flags to 
the test script, as my fingers are already trained to do so whenever I 
call a test script:

$ sh -x t4150-am.sh -i -v

You will have to scroll back a few lines to see exactly what failed, but 
you will see the exact commands (also of functions that were called), 
together with their return values (i.e. what the function output, and what 
was assigned to variables).

All that using the screen estate much more cautiously than your output.

I use "sh -x t* -i -v" all the time,
