You're right. This small change would make the script more robust,
and Sam might even make the change. It's just that you attacked him by
saying his script was not portable, whereas it is.  Had you approached
the situation by proposing a bug in sh, and asking Sam for a fix to
the script to make it more robust, he would probably have accepted it
happily. Remember that he's doing a lot of hard work, and accusing him
of distributing incorrect without proper justification will only make
him more defensive. Do you blame him?
