Some shells, for example dash versions older than 0.5.4, need to spell a variable reference as '$N' rather than 'N' in an arithmetic expansion. In order to avoid the syntax error, we change the offending variable reference from 'i' to '$i' in function scramble. Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Note that this test is unique in having an '#!/bin/bash' line (rather than '#!/bin/sh'), which was (indirectly) responsible for me not noticing this failure for a while. I don't see anything that would require bash, so I suspect this is not intensional.
