I've no problem with that whatsoever. In fact, I wasn't aware at the 
time I issued the patch that this construct won't work in Debian as I 
already knew it worked on all the shells I have been using here.

I took issue with this rather foolish and ill-thought out sweeping 
statement of yours that "==" is only supported in bash and your little 
dig at me for not knowing anything "outside Redhat" and I responded 
accordingly.

Then don't have little digs or challenge my intelligence and count to 
ten before you hit that "send" button.
