None of the variables seem to conflict, so local was unnecessary.

BTW, dash supports (and has always supported) local which is a quite
useful feature.

Cool.  Hmm... pdksh seems to support it here (Debian sid).  I'm pretty
sure local is not part of the POSIX spec, though; and I have seen
/bin/sh that don't support it.

Concurred.  There are things Herbert said are clearly dash bugs,
but this one is outside POSIX, so lets leave your changes to the
test for it.
