i am experiencing the very same problem -- only i get the echo every single time, not 2/3 -- and i get this even when using pdksh. as previously reported, bash (or zsh, for that matter) does not suffer of this problem. any help would be greatly appreciated. the problem first manifested itself after a system wide update... i'll see if i can get a log of this and i will post it, if you think this could be of help.
