        A good idea and also a good idea from Rick Pasotto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
to use head -n -6.  There is, however, a problem with that last
suggestion in that the script is actually being run on a FreeBSD
system and FreeBSD's version of head does not support the -n flag.
Both Debian and FreeBSD, however, had the same problem with the loop.

        The function gets called with a bunch of values passed as
arguments instead of getting one value per run.

        When I use sh -x scriptname, the output doesn't look like a
normal loop.

        Thanks for any more ideas.
