I'm trying to do a simple lexicographical string comparison.  It seems
to be broken.  No matter if the string is hard-coded, or in a variable,
it is broken in the same way, but the symptons are slightly different,
depending on the direction of the angle bracket.

Unless quoted, `<' and `>' always introduce redirections.
