Thanks, I'll apply your patch.

How about this instead:

    # The server doesn't always come up fast enough, so sleep and
    # retry a few times if it fails...
    status=1
    for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do
        if send -draft -server 127.0.0.1 -port $localport >/dev/null 2>&1; then
            status=0
            break
        fi
        sleep 1
    done
    [ $status -eq 0 ] || exit 1
