Could you clarify it? I'm afraid I don't understand.
Meanwhile, I've been staring at code and so far don't have any
assumption where it could fail. Except basic things like something is
wrong with forking or reading/writing pipes, but then it would have
bigger consequences.
Also, I tried to look at it with NetBSD but cannot get past
error, while running tests:
> ./test-lib.sh: 327: Syntax error: Bad substitution
There is the following code there:
-----
if test -z "$test_untraceable" || {
test -n "$BASH_VERSION" && {
test ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} -gt 4 || { # line 327
test ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} -eq 4 &&
test ${BASH_VERSINFO[1]} -ge 1

Should I install bash for it to work? I cannot say I understand what the message is about.
