There was a bug in historic versions of bash, where it got confused if the POSIX syntax for command expansion, that is $( ) , occurred within a case statement. I don't know which version it was where it got fixed, but I think it wasn't before 4.*. So what versions of bash do you have on either system? If they aren't the same, something like this is probably the answer. -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
