Are you sure this is not "echo $i+1"???

There are quite a few $((arithmetic)) already in our shell code,
so I was initially a bit surprised.  However, upon closer
inspection, this particular use is not kosher at all.

The portable ones we already have in the code say things like:

	msgnum=$(($msgnum+1))

The one in filter-branch that bit you does not dereference 'i'.
I am reasonably sure if you fix it to read:

	i=$(( $i+1 ))

dash would grok it.
