Hi Jim,
> Now I've tried harder, and this does the job:
Thanks a lot for getting to this so quickly! I can now single-step through
the test in the documented way.
One line in the patch looks strange: In the test whether the current shell
is OK you test for an exit code 9; then in the loop you test for exit code 2.
In view of your comment about Solaris /bin/sh and exit code 2, I think you
meant the following:

No?
