This is weird. Neither me nor the folks' who tested the script saw this warning.
I tried it on my laptop with bash and on a target device with busybox-shell. The
warning never occurred. I even tried a simple command like:
[[ $(echo -ne "\x4e\x0a\00") == "N" ]] && echo "True"
It might be that your bash is more modern than mine. Anyway if this patch
solves the
problem you see, that's great. Thanks for it.
