You better fulfil your claim "LTP scripts are written to be POSIX
complaint" before complaining about shells being unhappy with your
script. E.g. where in IEEE 1003.1-2004 is the "local" you use specified?
Or instead of working on making your script using only the stuff
specified in IEEE 1003.1-2004 you could simply replace the #!/bin/sh at
the top with a #!/bin/bash and everbody will be happy.
