Hello!

On an elderly Mac with PPC Mac OS X 10.4.11, Tiger, this was reported:

expr: brackets ([ ]) not balanced

It comes from this line

   76   year=`expr "$scriptversion" : '\([^-]*\)'`

On two more up-to-date intel Macs expr worked correctly. I can make another
test on PPC Mac OS X 10.5.8, Leopard.
