            echo "$st2 > $st1"
    fi

    if [ $st1 > $st2 ] && [ $st2 > $st1 ] ; then
            echo "WTF"
    fi

  moylan qst[1120] ./b2
  abc = abc
  abc > xyz
  xyz > abc
  WTF

also b2 writes out empty files abc and xyz.

i've surely missed something fundamental, or did i just
step into an alternate universe?
