Comment (by kcrisman):

 >  - I think that on OS X 10.4 (which we still support?), and perhaps
 other platforms, bash is version 2, which may not support the `PIPESTATUS`
 array.  This is the reason for the `pipestatus` script in SAGE_ROOT/spkg/,
 and maybe you should use that instead in `sage-spkg-integrity-check`.

 Not that I am very invested in this ticket, but according to [http://wiki
 .bash-hackers.org/scripting/bashchanges this link] bash 2.0 does support
 this.  My oldest such computer has bash 2.05b.0(1) release.
 {{{
 student$ echo $HISTCMD
 502
 student$ echo $PIPESTATUS
 0
 student$ echo $FOO

 student$
 }}}
 And other examples after an actual used pipe seemed to work properly.

 That doesn't mean there couldn't be some other reason for the `pipestatus`
 script, of course, still having to do with older bashes.
