Curious.
Who writes 't' to $dotest/keep after this patch is applied?
I also do not want to worry about "echo" portability issues that may come
from an existing
echo "$keep" >"$dotest/keep"
that this patch does not touch.
I suspect that this patch was not tested in a way to exercise this
codepath; shell would have barfed when seeing the lack of "then" here, no?
