The string argument to dotest is a pattern, not a string.  In '[checkout 
aborted]', '[' and
']' are the character set operators, so expr is attempting to match any 
_single_ charater
which is in the set inside the [].

If you look at the other tests, you'll notice they usually use, "\[[a-z]* 
aborted\]".  Where
the '\'s escape the operatorness of '[' and ']' and [a-z]* is intended to match 
"checkout" or
"server" in client/server mode (make remotecheck).
