Hello Glenn,

The /bin/sh implementation of OpenBSD is ksh; 

   http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ksh&sektion=1

This patch does fix the issue. But it does beg the question why this
fails with ksh and not with bash and zsh. I also asked the question on
the OpenBSD mailinglist. It would be nice if we could run this in the
shell of course and not depend on an external application.

More to follow soon in that thread.
