Hi Mats
Just out of curiosity I tested your code

Dear Eric,
I will leave all your code for reference, and add one more
for OpenBSD. The really bad news is that uClibc (Berin 1.2/3.1)
is assymmetric: five hits, where I went to efforts to construct
symmetric test cases. As for AIX, the answer is symmetric, but
could you possible test a deeper grou

Hello again Eric,
I am beginning to doubt the portability of regular expressions
altogether. A fully grouped pattern seems to be what AIX needs:
echo -e "abab\nbaab\nabba" | egrep '^((a?[ab])|(ba)){2}$'
echo -e "abab\nbaab\nabba" | egrep '^((ba)|(a?[ab])){2}$'
If this does not work, AIX stays ho
LEAF/LRP shells have always (and apparently) still rather limited in
use. During which periods I was writing any shell code I found that
you should NEVER ASSUME it will work on the target system.
There are issues due to what shell 'sh' is linked to at a minimum.
This is not confined to LEAF/LRP sy
