Has anyone else seen this? i tested it with the latest shellutils
from the frozen dist, and it appears to work. It should also be noted
that i tested this on my alpha box (running RedHat 6.1) and it didn't do
anything except give an error message. The version included with RedHat
6.1 is sh-utils 2.0. i haven't looked yet but, i'm willing to bet that
this was already noticed and fixed and people (including distro
maintainers) just need to upgrade.
