Thank you! That fixed the problem (output shown below).
Is there anywhere on the GNU web site where I might have been able to find
the 2.0.11 version on my own? 2.0 is the latest version on ftp.gnu.org in
/gnu/sh-utils/. I'd have expected to find info on known bugs, change lists,
links to alpha versions, etc. at
http://www.gnu.org/software/shellutils/shellutils.html or somewhere not too
far away from there, but after a total of half an hour spent searching
around the GNU site I still haven't been able to find any such information.
It's unfortunate that I had to annoy a live human to get this info. *sigh*
Thanks again!

In all cases I saw the version was 2.0. If possible you should try
the newer 2.0.11. I believe there have been some fixes since 2.0
which might improve your behavior.
The latest test release is available at:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/sh-utils-2.0.11.tar.gz
ftp://freefriends.org/gnu/fetish/sh-utils-2.0.11.tar.gz
Hope that helps
Bob
