Heh, then sorry for the noise. I noticed the problem on 2th, added the
"I should fix this" to my TODO, then made the patch yesterday. I forgot
to check the list archive again before sending the patch. ;-)

Thanks anyway.  It may have been a bit of duplicated effort, but served as
a sanity check as well.

Our patches do seem to fix the reading side of the issue, but I am not
sure if the writing side needs further fix.  If I recall, the script had
liberal use of "echo $var"; some implementations of echo interprets
backslash sequence without being asked with an explicit "-e".
