Yep, definitely..:-(. I fixed that bug too quickly. Quoting the string is correct but I didn't pay attention to the "-eq" which requires integers. Code that would better work is "if [ "$errors" = 1 ] ; then"....or just initialize the $errors variable to 0. Alastair, comments? I was expecting some about the former bug and I finally decided to upload just to be sure to missing the freeze deadline.
