In fact, it was a bug from dash, not solved yet on Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dash/+bug/92189 However, on Debian, it was already fixed in version 0.5.4-3: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=329025 Best regards, > > This trivial patch replaces these operations following an example from > Open Group specifications ( > http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_06_04). > > > > Also, I've already tried this using ksh (version 93s+ 2008-01-31) and > bash (3.2.39).
