If all (three) of the instances of "$((.*))" are replaced in etc/rc,
then the script does now work, e.g.:
Line 135: "i=$(( $i + 1 )) " -> "(( i++ ))"
Line 448: "verbose_pos=$(( $verbose_pos + ${#output} ))" ->
"(( verbose_pos += ${#output} ))"
Line 455: As above
... then this fixes things for me.
It still looks as if bash is broken on IRIX, but this seems to be
slightly neater code that works. Perhaps it's worth changing the rc
script for the next release, since it shouldn't break on other platforms
but it does allow IRIX to function correctly?
Just a thought...
Cheers,
Stuart
