Thanks.

I see you play some games with shell syntactic rules and such: IME,
these are often tricky enough to defeat simplistic handling.  For
example, does this support commands that have redirection operators
_before_ the first verb?  It's allowed in every shell I've seen,
albeit very rarely used.

I think Robert found another possible issue.

Why do these tests only look for 'sh' as the shell?  What is the
importance of the shell for this purpose?
