I was creating and testing my scripts on a windows box (unfortunately). {snip!} After replacing the bogus windows line termination characters, everything worked fine.

OMG! I haven't worked on a Windows box to develop code that I forgot all about that happening to me. I was consulting for a company that their development environment and all their version control tools were on Windows NT and the same exact thing happened to me. So I downloaded a X-11 server for Windoze NT and used XDM to log onto a Solaris box that way. Never had that issue again. (They had an analog to their VC software on Solaris)

Test the code? We don't need to test no stinkin' code! All code posted here is as is where is unless otherwise stated.
